  1. MAP-Measures of Academic Progress tests a student’s skill level in reading, math and language usage.

  2. When are tests given? • Three (3) times per year • Fall - August/September • Winter- December/January • Spring - March/April How are tests given? • On the computer under adult supervision • Adjusts to student’s level so that each sees different questions

  3. MAP Tests…. • When taking a MAP test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions become more difficult. If a student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier. The final score is an estimate of the student’s achievement level.

  4. What are the MAP assessments used for? • MAP tests are used to measure your child’s progress, or growth, in the areas of math, reading, and language usage. • The scale used to measure your child’s progress is called the RIT (Rasch unIT.) The RIT scale is an equal-interval scale much like feet and inches on a yardstick. It is used to chart your child’s academic growth from year to year.

  5. How do I read my child’s MAP Progress Report? • RIT SCORE-aRIT scores range from about 150-300. Students typically start at the 150-190 level in the third grade and progress to the 240 to 300 level by high school. RIT scores make it possible to follow a student’s educational growth from year to year.

  6. More MAP Terms • DISTRICT AVERAGE-The average RIT score for all students in the school district in the same grade who were tested at the same time as this student. • NORM GROUP AVERAGE-Theaverage score observedfor students in the norm group. (nationally) • PERCENTILE RANK-A student’s percentile rank indicates that the student scored as well as, or better than, that percent of students in the norm group. In other words, a student with a percentile rank of 72 scored as well as, or better than, 72% of the students in the norm group. • STANDARDS-Standards are statements, developed by states or districts, of what students should know and be able to do, related to specific academic areas.

  7. What will happen with the MAP results? Teachers use MAP tests to guide instruction. Immediately following a MAP assessment, teachers receive test results so they can provide intervention when it is needed most. Teachers can evaluate what learning strategies are working and what alternatives they need to adopt to accelerate the growth of every child from the at-risk student to the advanced learner.

  8. How can I help my child to be successful? • Ask your student questions • Review his/her homework • Go over assignments • Check student planner daily • Contact the teacher • Visit the classroom • Volunteer at school functions
