Cartes: A Continuum of Learning (transitioning to “Learning Continuum”) • Knowledge Academy 2

MAP Trainings • 8/22 – 9/11 = MAP testing/proctoring – 4 sessions • 9/10 = District office staff – NWEA MAP training • 9/25 = Principals’ meeting (1 hour) - TODAY Upcoming – Training of Trainers model • 9/29 = DAC DELAC meeting (and future meetings) • 10/20 = NWEA MAP training focusing on Teacher reports (curriculum specialists and TOSAs) • Principals’ meetings • TOSA meetings • Curriculum specialist meetings (dates TBD) 3

Review – Features of MAP • Computerized and adaptive test that measures academic growth (in reading and math) • Difficulty of the test adjusts based on student performance as they progress through the test • Individualized and unique for each student • Give students as much time as needed to complete each test • AVERAGE time required to complete each test is 50 minutes (per NWEA) • A continuous test with content covering Kindergarten through High School 4

Review – Benefits of MAP • Each test is individualized giving all students the opportunity to succeed • Parents and teachers receive quick, detailed, and accurate information about student’s academic growth • Test is designed to let teachers know where students strengths and challenges are (Results used to inform instruction in the classroom) • Provides students with information needed to achieve their personal goal 5

RIT (Rasch Unit) Scale • Achievement scale Adult Math 240 NWEA scale • Equal interval • Grade/Age Independent Test items are calibrated for difficulty along the RIT scale. • Shows growth over time • Linked to learning continuum 150 Beginning Math 6

Class Report (by Test RIT) • Student and class performance • Displays the teacher’s class data for the current testing term by RIT score • Use to see a breakdown of student performance by subject in a class; use to differentiate instruction. 8
