Another assessment to use to gather data on student learning is the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Test. We assess in the areas of Reading and Math. The test is about 50 questions long, and students take the test on the computer. The test constantly adapts the test for individual students. If a student answers a question correctly, a more challenging question will be offered. If a student makes an error, a simpler question is given. The test is aligned to the Common Core standards and gives scores that can be compared to students across the district and nationally.
I personally like this test, because many students who move to our school from other districts, even other states, arrive with MAP scores. It gives me immediate data about the students' learning. The data can be tracked over time to show progress.
Our students took the Reading test today. They will take the Math test on Friday. Here is what it looks like for Ms. Leom's class during testing.
