MAP Resources for Parents

 Why MAP Growth?

MAP GROWTH (previously called MAP) allows schools to differentiate and adjust instruction for individual students, groups of students, or entire classes based on results of the assessment. The results can be used by students, parents, teachers, grade levels, subject areas, schools, and the school district for a variety of purposes.  Students take the MAP GROWTH assessment three times per year, which provides a timely measure of growth, in addition to proficiency.
  • Proficiency = Do you know the content? Do you know what we expect students in your grade level to know?
  • Growth = Are you learning? Did your knowledge increase an appropriate amount since the last test?


What is different about MAP GROWTH?

The MAP GROWTH (previously called MAP) is an adaptive online assessment that is aligned to the Common Core standards. When taking a MAP GROWTH test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all of the previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier. This allow us to more accurately pinpoint student learning. In addition, MAP GROWTH incorporates Technology-Enhanced Items so students solve “real world” scenarios.
