M.A.P. Measures of Academic Progress Using data to Inform Instruction M.A.P. Measures of Academic Progress Martha Havens- Pacific Union Elementary Director Keith Drieberg- La Sierra U, Chair Curriculum & Instruction Aug 8, 2018 A NAD Workshop

Question & answer for the panel Agenda Introductions Objective of training: Introduce teachers & Administrators to the MAP tool in reading & Math. Facilitate a discussion on how to use data to drive instruction decision for K-12 students. Provide results of the pilot project in the Pacific Union with 15-30 schools.   Share with a neighbor- What student data would you want, to help you make instructional decisions during the school year? Martha: Why we started the pilot MAP assessment in the Pacific Union / What does it do / How is it given / cost / How do I test online / What is a RIT score / what scores do I get / Interim assessment Keith: Now that you have instant reading & Math data, what do you do with it / Reports / How do I use data in setting goals/ Why is it important to measure growth from beginning to middle, to end of the year. Present MAP users: This is what I did with the assessment this year / This is how it changed or supported instructional practices / This is what I am going to do next year Question & answer for the panel Reflection time: Write on paper – 3 ideas I want to put into practice from what I have learned, at my school this next year

Pacific UnionStory Why “MAP” Our pilot year - 2017-18 – 30 volunteer schools Partnership between La Sierra University- Department of Curriculum & Instruction, leadership at the Pacific Union & Superintendents at the 6 conferences

Using data to Inform Instruction

Our administrators and teachers wanted: Assessments that would inform instructional practices To focus on student growth over time Data throughout the school year, so that teachers would know what students are learning Quick & accurate results compared to students in the local community To actively involve students in learning

What data do parents want:

Features & Benefits of the MAP Test are not timed. Average time to complete the Reading & Math tests are 50 minutes each. Students are tested 3 times a year, fall, winter and spring. Computerized assessment at grade level, with results the next morning. K-12 National Norm referenced test Informs parents about child’s growth over time, and allows teachers to know where student’s strengths are, and where help is needed

Adaptive Assessment:

NWEA. MAP Administration.
