Winter MAP Testing
November 29, 2021
Welcome back, Talley Tigers!
We hope you had a restful break. Students will participate in MAP testing this week. As a reminder to most parents and an introduction to parents who have joined us since the fall administration, the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment is designed to measure a student’s academic achievement and growth over time in reading and mathematics. MAP is a computer adaptive assessment. With this type of assessment, the difficulty of the questions are adjusted up or down to gauge the student's level of understanding. This creates a personalized assessment for every student. Together with other classroom-based information, MAP results can help teachers make instructional decisions that match the needs of each child.
We will administer the winter MAP test to all students on Thursday, December 2 (Reading) and Friday, December 3 (Math). Makeup testing will take place over the following week as needed. Please help your child get a good night's rest and eat a good breakfast before testing.
