Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
• Computerized adaptive tests by Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA)
• Educators use the growth and achievement data from MAP tests to develop targeted instructional strategies.
• Growth - Additional Aspect of the Achievement Gap
• 2006-2007 - the first year to implement MAP assessments (grades 6-8)

Discussion Math Growth of High Poverty Students
• Improving student learning in math is a highly complex challenge, especially for students in poverty
• Schools and gender are not significant factors in impacting FRL student performance and growth over time.
• White and Hispanic FRL students made more gains in math than their peers
