MAP Testing
1- Students should have scratch paper during the math assessment. Ensure all of your devices are on the Mac Lab network for testing.
2- Use the test session name I created for you and email out last week when administering the test.
3- Check the schedule for your testing time and begin promptly at your testing time. These sessions for MAP are being treated as if it were a Milestone exam. There should be limited movement in the hallway/bathroom. Please send your students to the restroom before testing begins.
4- Students must sit quietly through testing for a minimum of 60 minutes. If students finish the test early, they are to close their devices and read a book quietly at their seats.
5-Missing devices: Loaner devices will be provided to each small group sessions. Classrooms should have enough for the remaining students. Jason will distribute and collect loaner devices daily.
6- Jason and I will be available for troubleshooting during your testing sessions.
All testing must be completed by December 14th. Please remember to check your class data the day after testing is complete to make sure all students have completed testing. Students who did not finish in the testing period or missed testing need to complete testing by Dec. 14th. All make-up testing will be done in the classroom by the classroom teacher. The only students who will test outside of their classroom are those who receive testing accommodations.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
