Agenda Item Summary:
|
The MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Growth is a Virginia Standards of Learning-aligned, computer-adaptive student growth assessment that will be administered in the areas of Reading and Mathematics in all ACPS Title I schools in SY19-20.
|
|
Background:
|
MAP Growth is a vertically aligned, interim assessment system that precisely measures students’ growth over time and enables teachers to track progress on the continuum of Virginia standards – not just quarter to quarter, but also year over year. Rather than assessing student performance on the discrete standards taught during a particular time period (such as an academic quarter), MAP assesses students’ skills on a continuum of all standards and then measures growth on this continuum each time the assessment is administered. This allows educators to pinpoint areas of both strength and opportunity, to identify which standards and academic skills and concepts students have mastered, and those they are ready to learn now.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review this board brief regarding the MAP Growth assessment system and consider the impact this assessment might have if utilized in all schools, division-wide.
