Two times this year all QAE students will be given the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment. The results from MAP is important data for teachers to begin developing differentiated learning plans for their classroom (groups) and students (individual). The data includes detailed information teachers will use to build curriculum to meet the needs of their students.
Developed by NWEA, MAP is a computerized adaptive assessment that captures a student's abilities, comparing the data with other students in the school, district and nation. MAP is one of many ways QAE teachers use to create personalized learning. The assessment is delivered with low stress and emphasis (it's fun) - we want students to enjoy the experience and see this as an opportunity for them to show us what they know. Student data from the assessment results will be shared with parents soon testing is completed, usually in 3-4 weeks.

This year's MAP experience will be different than in previous years. Because we no longer have a computer lab, students will be using computers in mini-labs located on the second and third floor of the Treehouse. Students will not be assessed with their entire class. MAP administrators will be going to classrooms and taking students out for the assessments. Students will return to the classroom when they are finished. K-1 students will get extra attention during the MAP assessments.
MAP Practice
Clicking on the "girl" icon will take users to a MAP practice site. I will be visiting all All K-2 classroom so that we can review MAP together. I recommend looking at this home; not only will this give your child additional practice with their clicking and dragging skills, it will give you a preview of the assessment. The practice video takes 10 minutes.
Click here for a Power Point that will be introduced to all students, grades 3-5. I recommend you viewing the presentation and connecting with what your child will be experiencing over the next two weeks.
Feel free to stop by any time to talk about MAP or see it in action, please
In partnership with you!
