MAP Presentation to Families Dayton Oaks Elementary School February 23, 2016
Welcome Our Objectives for the Evening: • Provide general information about the MAP assessments • Explain the data on the report received by parents • Discuss the instructional implications • Address questions
Measures of Academic Progress • MAP and MPG • Computerized and Adaptive • Designed to measure and show growth over time • Informs instruction • Research based • Benefits all students • Reading aligned to Common Core • Equal interval scale • Grade level independent
What are MAP assessments? The MAP assessments are computer adaptive assessments. The difficulty of the assessment is adjusted to the student’s performance on each question. As a student responds to questions, the test responds to the student, adjusting up or down in difficulty.
What are MAP assessments? The assessments challenge every student. Assessments are untimed. Assessments are designed to measure growth and show how students are progressing.
What are MAP assessments? Student growth can be monitored throughout the school year and from year to year. MAP data provides information to help inform instructional decisions. Norms provided are used for general reference.
MAP Progression
Questions about the assessments? When are the assessments administered? -3 times per year (fall, winter, spring) How many items are on each assessment? -MPG: approximately 57 questions/content area -MAP: approximately 52 questions/content area How many minutes does it take to take each assessment? -MPG: approximately 25 minutes/assessment -MAP: approximately 45-55 minutes/assessment
What is a RIT score? The overall scale score on the test. RIT stands for Rasch unIT. RIT scores are used to estimate student achievement. RIT scores create an equal-interval scale. RIT scores range from 150 to 300+. Allows you to follow a student’s educational growth from one year to the next.

RIT Reference Guide The RIT Reference Guide handouts from our info night will also be posted on the DOES website. Note that HCPSS only gives the MAP in the areas of Math and Reading. Please disregard the pages that refer to Language Usage, Math 6+, and Science, as our students do not take these assessments.
