MAP Reminders
Please refer to your procedures handout for a list of all reminders during MAP testing. Below are a few very important procedures that we need to be vigilant about.
2. If a room next to you is testing please be mindful of student voice level and enVisions video volume.
3. Please ensure that your white boards are completely clean during testing.
4. Make sure you are letting parents know the specific days your class is testing so they may ensure students get plenty of rest and a good breakfast.
5. When you are finished testing you should ensure all laptops are plugged into their chargers. This isn't a job for students, it's so important that this is done by teachers so we can ensure computers are charged at night.
6. Before passing out laptops and beginning the test, pep students up about working hard, taking their time, reading carefully, checking their work, and having confidence in themselves that they will do well.
7. All teacher laptops and cell phones must be powered OFF and stored in a drawer out of sight.
8. When your entire class is finished call one of the Aimees in the office.
9. If testing a small group please pick them up at 8:45. The teacher will hand you their test ticket, students should not be responsible for carrying their ticket. Please do NOT send them back to class when they are finished. Someone will come around to get them and escort them back.
