MAP Testing Pilot - From MS Assistant Principal, Fred Shafer

Dear Parents,

This year the middle school is going to pilot a different type of standardized test called Measure of Academic Progress (MAP). MAP tests are unique in that they are adaptive tests your child takes on a computer, which means that the test becomes more difficult the more questions your child answers correctly. When your child incorrectly answers a question, the test becomes easier. Therefore, your child takes a test specifically created for his or her learning level.

We will be administering the first pilot tests starting the on November 14th. In the coming months, we will make sure we keep parents updated on our progress. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Thanks,

Fred Schafer
MS Assistant Principal
