NWEA MAPDear Parents/Guardians,
Carrollton Exempted Village Schools is excited to announce a new diagnostic assessment system called Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). This assessment system will replace the monthly STAR Reading and Math assessments for students across the district. It is important to note that the Accelerated Reading (AR) program will still be available for students K-5. Currently we are testing grades 1-12. Beginning in fall 2018, MAP will be utilized for students in grades K-11, in the areas of Math, Reading. Science will be tested in grades 3-8 only. This assessment is an adaptive test, which means students should expect to get about 50% of the test questions incorrect. Because the test adapts to a student’s individual learning, students may also see new material during a testing session. This is an important aspect of the assessment, as it will define what a student is ready to learn next, even if that material is below or above grade level content. MAP will use assessment data to give teachers and administrators valid, reliable, and predictive data that can be used to guide instruction for the individual student, creating opportunities for differentiated instruction for all learners. Additionally, MAP is closely aligned to Ohio's Academic Content Standards and the AIR tests. While taking MAP, the students will also have the opportunity to practice answering technology enhanced questions to build 21st Century skills. MAP is taken 3 times during the year, with each test consisting of about an hour. MAP reports may be shared with you at parent teacher conferences, at report card time, and upon request. Additionally, teachers will work with students throughout the year to create student growth goals and will celebrate academic progress, regardless of a student’s learning level. As a district, the focus is on growing all students academically. |
