What is MAP testing?
o MAP - Measures of Academic Progress
o Adaptive test taken on Chrome Books three times a year (fall, winter, spring)
o Every third through fifth grade student at LeGette School will take the test this year
o MAP scores are called RIT scores
o Teachers can use these scores as one piece of assessment to inform instruction and guide student learning
MAP Testing
A Performance-based Measure
What is a RIT score?
Achievement scale
Equal interval
RIT – named after Danish statistician George Rasch
Measures longitudinal growth -students academic growth over time
RIT score is grade independent
Ranges from 150-280
RIT® (Rasch Unit) Scale

Growth & Projected Proficiency in MAP
Growth in MAPWhen students test in the fall, they are in one of the following groups:
Projected to Be Proficient by the end of the year
Already at the end of the year Proficiency Level
Projected to Not be Proficient at the end of the year
Based on the students achieving normal growth during the year:
Average national growth
Based on regular instruction
Additional support or intervention should give more than normal growth
Projected ProficiencyProjected growth in math: about 8 points
Projected growth in reading: about 6 points
Based on National Norms using current standards
