Measures of Academic Progress

Letter from Ms. Salva

Measures of Academic Progress
Understanding each student’s academic level gives teachers the power to help them excel. MAP computerized adaptive assessments are the tools that make it possible – providing educators with the detailed information they need to build curriculum and meet their students’ needs, one child at a time.

The benefits of NWEA MAPs are:

• Tests will be administed in Reading, Math, & Language (via computer in the lab).
• Shorter testing time
• MAPs is adaptable per student. This truly assists in diagnosing each student’s achievement and ability levels.
• Detailed information regarding each student is available for staff and parents within 36-48 hours of testing.
• Individualized plans with target growth areas are identified
• MAPs allows for Student, School, Diocesan and “Norm Group” Reporting
• MAPs allows for a MEAP comparison score
• MAPs can provide a “RIT to Reading Range Report” for each student. The Reading Range Report provides a reading range for each student tested with links to reading resources.
• MAPs will identify students whose testing sessions may be invalid – guessing / length of time too short
