MAP Winter Test Administration - Let’s See that Growth!

Top 4 Reports That Every Teacher Should Run After Administering MAP:

1. Class
2. Class Breakdown
3. Project Summary (choose Fall to Winter)
4. Student Profile - This reports shows each student’s projection for the CAASPP. This report
5. is a great tool for parent meetings, student goal setting, and resources for students.

Shelley will be providing PD on MAP Reports, how to utilize the data to inform your instruction,
and MAP Skills. Please watch for the dates to be posted on Go Sign Me Up soon. If you would
like me to come out to your site to provide training for your staff, please let me know so
that we can get it scheduled.

MAP testing window is from Feb. 4^th -22nd. We recommend that you give MAP testing the first two weeks so the last week can be held for make ups. We will not need to create a testing schedule for this since everyone has their own chromebooks now J

MAP testing for Elementary and Secondary Schools will be administered in two separate testing windows again in the Winter test administration. 

ELEMENTARY TESTING WINDOW - February 4 - February 22 

It is critical that you abide by the designated timeline for your grade level even though the system will allow you to test your students. The result of testing outside of your window will be that you will NOT have access to your student results or any of the report data. There is no work around for this so please be sure to follow the calendar.

You should know:

·        Students will have ONE opportunity to test in Reading and mathematics. They will no longer be able to retest. This will help keep testing to a minimum. It is critical that you proctor and monitor the students closely so that you can be sure students gave their best effort so that accurate data is measured on where students are in their learning. In addition, the system will prompt the proctor letting them know if a student is "rapid guessing". 

·        Equity for All - Accessibility & Accommodations - Removing Barriers - Be sure to look at the available supports. Here is the link to see what is available in MAP

·        To turn on Text-To-Speech - Simply turn the Chromebook on and click on "Ctrl Alt Z and this will turn on the ChromeVox spoken feedback feature. Then open the MAP APP and the screen content will be read aloud. Students will need earbuds.  

Here are the test names for each assessment by grade level.

PLEASE BE SURE TO SELECT THE CORRECT NAME FOR YOUR GRADE LEVEL WHEN SETTING UP YOUR TEST SESSIONS. This will ensure that students do not have the ability to select the incorrect test.

Here is the Step-by-Step Guide on how to administer MAP for teachers, student directions, and what to do when a student bumps off the network, etc. 

The Help Desk staff is currently operating with two vacant positions so please be patient for a response from them and refer to the step-by-step guide as much as possible before calling 399-5100. 

Support our student council and buy a luv-a-gram (Feb. 1-13) for your students. You may want to check with student council and get a list of students who may not receive one and buy one for that student. This is a great way to make their day and support our school!
