Agenda Item Summary:
|
The division experienced a successful initial administration of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Screening Assessment, including multiple training opportunities in the interpretation and implementation of MAP data reports for staff. For the next administration (late January 2021), the division will transition into using the full MAP Growth Assessment for all students grades 2-12 in both reading and math.
|
|
Background:
|
This fall, ACPS began using the Northwest Education Association’s (NWEA) MAP Assessments as our universal screening tools for reading and math in all schools for grades 2-12. For the first administration, we administered the MAP Screening Assessment, an abbreviated version of the more robust MAP Growth Assessment, due to the feasibility of administering the assessment remotely. The information gained from MAP Screening benefits students by helping teachers identify individual learning needs associated with learning loss, promote student goal-setting, and monitor academic growth. Teachers need accurate and timely data to personalize and evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. MAP scores provide diagnostic information to support customizing instruction to the needs of students.
