Design and Features of MAP™ Assessments Beginning Literacy Adult Reading 5 th Grade x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x MAP Test

Features of MAP™ Assessments  Challenging and appropriate  Dynamically developed  Accurate data  Untimed  Measures growth  Immediate results  May test up to four times a year (Science assessment can be given up to 3 times per year.) 6

How do I know which test to give?  Survey w/ Goals  items  ~ 1 hour to administer  Gives information on goal areas  Survey  20 items  ~ 30 minutes to administer  No information on goal areas  Overall RIT only 7

ProctorsTeachers Before Testing  Ready all computers for testing  MAKE SURE CORRECT TESTS ARE ASSIGNED  Number class lists to computers, share with teachers  Have scratch paper and pencils available  Let students know computer assignments  Show MAP Student PowerPoint ® Presentation to students  Have students bring a book to read or assignment to work on  Bring class to computer lab at designated time – help find computers During Testing  Read directions to students  Monitor test event  Terminate tests as needed  Log scores or print screen at end of test  Remain in lab to help monitor test event After Testing  Prepare computer for next group to test between testing sessions  Upload data to NWEA at end of every day during testing if designated by the district to do so  Access teacher reports hours after data is uploaded  Analyze class and teacher reports  Discuss student scores with parents and students  Implement necessary instructional modifications 8

Scheduling Suggestions  Plan well in advance  Connect with the teacher to arrange the seating assignment in the lab  Test one subject at a time 9

Appropriate Testing Environment  Plan ahead for students with special needs  Keep testing location secure  Maintain a relatively quiet location  Reduce glare on monitors  Keep power cords out of the way  Make sure the Proctor can easily see screens 10

Allowable Accommodations  May not read any part of the Language Usage or Reading tests  May help with a difficult word in Mathematics and Science as long as no additional clues are given  May read Mathematics and Science tests if the Individual Education Plan (IEP) allows M A Proctor Handbook pp

Proctoring the Test  Maintain password security  Confirm that students have a book to read or assignment after testing  Verify that each machine shows the correct student name  Remind students that there is to be no talking  Stagger student start times by a few seconds  Be ready to pause tests as needed 12

Proctoring the Test (continued)  Allow students to use calculators if it appears on the screen  No hand-held calculators are allowed.  Have scratch paper and pencils available for Mathematics test  Check progress occasionally  Notify NWEA of any problem items 13

Invalidations and Retesting  Reasons to invalidate a test  Retesting when necessary  Testing absent students M Proctor Handbook p

Ongoing Considerations  What is the backup plan for Proctor substitutes and for training new Proctors the next time you test?  Online Recorded Proctor Training  >> Member Support >> Professional Development >> Online Trainings 15

Ongoing Considerations (continued)  District decisions that need to be made:  Will Proctors be required to use forms for record keeping?  How will new students be added?  Who will upload the data everyday?  Will the Proctor need to keep a log of scores? Print the final screen? 16

Proctor Handbook  Access via >> Member Support >> Test Administration >> Measures of Academic Progress  Provides a detailed activity checklist for the entire testing window 17
