1. Hemet Unified School District’s Use of Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)

2. IT’S ALL ABOUT GROWTH!

3. Reasons we selected MAP assessment 7 years ago
We assess K – 8th graders
Three times a year

4. MAP IS ... An Adaptive Formative Assessment
Gives information as to what students know
Gives information as to what students need instruction in or need to know
Tool to Monitor Student Growth
RIT (Rausch Unit) scale (indicates the level at which students was answering questions correctly 50% of the time)

5. MAP IS NOT A way to evaluate student performance
A summative assessment
A tool to give as a measure on the Report to Parents (REPORT CARD)
A tool to determine grade level performance
RIT IS
NOT a grade
DOES NOT have ANYTHING TO DO WITH GRADE LEVEL
Discussion about what MAP should not be used for

Glance
Quick Glance-
1)Percent of students who have met their expected growth
2) How much growth was met
3) number of students
4) number who met or exceeded
5) Median growth percentile

12. Growth Norms
Growth norms developed for the 2015 RIT Scale Norms Study reflect the common observation that the rate of academic growth is related to the student’s starting status on the measurement scale; typically, students starting out at a lower level tend to grow more. The growth norm tables below show mean growth when the mean grade level status score is used as the starting score. In each case, the starting score is treated as a factor predicting growth. If a particular student’s starting score was below the grade level status mean, the growth mean is typically higher. Similarly, students with starting scores above the grade level mean would typically show less growth on average.

13. Norms Table for RIT scores
The norms in the tables below have a very straightforward interpretation. For example, in the status norms for Reading, grade 2 students in the middle of the “begin-year” period had a mean score of and a standard deviation of To get a sense of how much dispersion there was, the SD 15.5 can be subtracted from the mean and added to the mean to produce a range of about 159–190. Since the norms are based on the bell curve, we know that 68% of all scores are expected to fall between in this range

14. New Linking Study: MAP to SBAC Performance Levels
Recently, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced) released a document that established initial performance levels and the associated threshold scale scores for the Smarter Balanced assessment. The report included estimated percentages of students expected to perform at each of the four performance levels, reported by grade and test subject (e.g., English Language Arts or Mathematics), based on preliminary field testing of the Smarter Balanced assessment conducted during the spring of 2014
