NWEA/MAP Testing

Dear Families:

During the week of September 19th, your child will take tests called Measures of Academic Progress™ (MAP). We give students MAP tests to determine your child’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year, in the areas of reading and math. Your child will take the tests on a computer. 

MAP tests are unique in that they adapt to be appropriate for your child’s level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward testing.  And with MAP tests, we can administer shorter tests and use less class time while still receiving detailed, accurate information about your child’s growth.  We are able to use the data to see areas where students could benefit from targeted instruction.  

We recognize that this is the first test of this type for second grade students and work hard to have this be a positive experience.  

Following each testing period, you will receive a report showing your child’s current level and growth.  We will go over the first one with you at parent/teacher conferences.  

Sincerely,

Beth Pols
