Top Ten Reasons to Use MAP

Text 404-931-4042

MAP: Measures of Academic Progress Norm-referenced, computer-adaptive

assessment tool administered to Kindergarten – grade 11 three times/year that actually measures growth

Created by the Northwest Evaluation Association (http://www.nwea.org)

MAP #9: Norm-Referenced

Percentile 5,000,000 kids

annually 50 states Normed every 3

years (ITBS every 7)

MAP #8: Growth Measure RIT scale

Rausch Interval Scale (Rausch – mathematician)

Equal-interval, like Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) on ITBS

MAP #7: Universal Screener for RtI Measures growth fall-fall or spring-spring or

fall-spring We choose fall-spring 3-4 x/year: August, December and April Possibly summer school evaluation
