During the weeks of October 5-16, 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, Language Usage, 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. Over the next few weeks, your child will spend a total of about 3-5 hours completing these tests.Each school year, students in grades 3-4 take the tests at Chadron Intermediate school. Following each testing period, you will receive a report showing your child’s growth.
