MAP for Academic Growth and Achievement

Interpreting MAP: Understanding Achievement & Growth Norms OFFICE OF ACCOUNTABILITY & ASSESSMENT

MAP/NWEA Mathematics Items are tagged with Aspects of Rigor to provide a clearer and more helpful distinction to examine higher order thinking skills. Reading: Passages feature diverse authors and varying levels of text complexity. Achievement and Growth Norms In 75% of South Carolina Districts and over half of those have administered MAP for 15 plus years. Computer Adaptive Immediately Actionable results Aligned to SC College and Career Readiness Standards Predictor for SC Ready, ACT & SAT

RIT MAP Growth uses the RIT (Rasch Unit) scale Allows us to measure and compare academic growth. Specifically, the scale measures levels in academic difficulty. Vertical scale which extends equally across all grades, allows us to compare a student's score at various points throughout his or her education. The RIT provides rich information to guide instructional decision making!

Instructional Areas and Learning Paths Instructional Areas section: you can see the component parts of the assessment and then get details you need to develop a personalized learning path for your student. Lower scores appear near the top (priority) and higher scores appear near the bottom to highlight student strengths.

Learning Continuum Identifies learning statements corresponding to RIT scores to support planning for scaffolding and differentiated instruction. Test View organized by 10-point RIT bands Class View organized by student test results Reinforce For learning statements in the RIT band just below where a student scored, you could reinforce their learning, but they probably already know these skills and concepts. Develop The learning statements in the RIT band where a student scored are likely in their Zone of Proximal Development and may be helpful in planning current instruction. Introduce The learning statements in the RIT band just above where a student scored are skills and concepts you could potentially introduce when the student is ready for more challenge.

Scenario 1 My 7th grade student scored a 204 in the winter Reading administration. Where does this student score as a national percentile range? Where fo we project this student to score (proficiency category) on SC Ready in the Spring? What Norm set(s) would you reference?

Scenario 2 My 6th grade student scored a 200 in Math Growth in the winter administration. Is she/he on track to meet SC state standards in math? What Norm set would you reference?

Scenario 3 My 8th grade student scored a 203 in the Fall Reading administration. How does he/she stand comparison to others nationally? What Norm set would you reference?

Scenario 3contd My 8th grade student scored a 203 in the Fall Reading administration. How much can we expect this student to grow by winter? By the spring administration? What Norm set would you reference?
