4. MAP Testing MAP - Measures of Academic Progress
Adaptive test taken on Chrome Books three times a year (fall, winter, spring)
Every third through fifth grade student at LeGette School will take the test this year
MAP scores are called RIT scores
Teachers can use these scores as one piece of assessment to inform instruction and guide student learning

What is a RIT score?
NWEA ~ Northwest Evaluation Association
From the NWEA testing site…“NWEA assessments use a measurement scale that has proven to be exceptionally stable and valid over time. Our scale is based on the same modern test theory that aligns student achievement levels with item difficulties on the same scale.
The scale is divided into equal parts (an equal interval scale), like centimeters on a ruler. NWEA calls these parts RITs, which is short for Rasch unIT (after the test theory's founder, Danish statistician, Georg Rasch). Each subject area has its own unique RIT scale. NWEA uses the RIT scales to measure a student’s academic growth over time. Like using a ruler to measure a child's growth in height, we use the RIT scale to measure a student’s academic growth over time.”

8. Growth & Projected Proficiency in MAP
Deanna

9. Growth in MAP
When students test in the fall, they are in one of the following groups:
Projected to Be Proficient by the end of the year
Already at the end of the year Proficiency Level
Projected to Not be Proficient at the end of the year
Based on the students achieving normal growth during the year:
Average national growth
Based on regular instruction
Additional support or intervention should give more than normal growth

10. Projected Proficiency
Projected growth in math: about 8 points
Projected growth in reading: about 6 points
Based on National Norms using current standards

16. Descartes Continuum of Learning
DesCartes is an instructional resource that translates student RIT scores to relevant learning continuum statements.
The structure matches the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

Talk about the 3 columns and what they mean
If we are working on Main Idea what does this mean from my instructional for this group of students
Bring in the boxes and talk about this group and what it means I should be doing with them….
-Evaluating informational text long than 1-5 simple sentences to make a statement about the main idea
-Evaluate 1-3 complex paragraphs to determine main idea.
My future assessment would be to give the students a informational text and ask them to determine what the main idea and give evidence to support it.
