MAP (Measurement of Academic Progress)

• All Students K through 10 (and some 11) are assessed in

Math and Reading at least two times per year.

• The assessment is online.

• Results are immediate.

• Parents receive cumulative results annually (over time).

• Individual Learning paths are created in COMPASS

LEARNING ODYSSEY.

These are the

most important

reasons to use

MAP!

• Some of

– Teachers

– Programs

– Grade levels

– Schools and

– District

• are addressed by analyzing MAP results

over time.

FINDINGS from MAP

• When compared to national normed MAP

data, our students enter our classes lower

in both MATH and READING as the years

progress.

• When compared to national normed MAP

data, our students grow more in both

MATH and READING.

This FALL (2014), our

1st and 2nd grade

students’ mean(avg)

READING RIT scores

are the same as the

nationally normed RIT

score!

Findings

• Our 5th grade students and our 7th grade

students continue to score lowest in ELA – over

time.

• Students across all grade levels (3 through 8)

score better in MATHEMATICS than in ELA.

• Students in grade 11 (HSPA) score better in

ELA than in MATHEMATICS.
