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 /

Our pilot year – 30 volunteer schools
Partnership between La Sierra University- Department of Curriculum & Instruction, leadership at the Pacific Union & Superintendents at the 6 conferences

4. Using data to Inform Instruction

6. 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

7. What data do parents want:

8. 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
