MAP was introduced to students in grades kindergarten through ten during the 2009-2010 school year. MAP stands for Measures of Academic Progress. It is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth. Students take the MAP assessment three times during the year - fall, winter and spring.
When taking the MAP test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, questions become easier. This continues until the assessment finds the student's "just right" level.
