Today the students finished up their last MAP test for the season. MAP is a computerized test that the students take in fall, winter, and spring. Each testing season consists a test in reading, language arts, and math and each test takes about an hour to complete.
This test is different than the WKCE test (which the students will take in late October or early November) in two important ways. The first is that teachers are able to view a more complete breakdown of the scores so that we can see specifically where a child's strengths and weakness lay. The other benefit to MAP is that we get the results immediately.
In January the students will again take the tests so that we can gauge each student's progress over the semester.
