Students at Prairieview and Lakeview have taken the "Measures of Academic Progress" (MAP) tests over the past few weeks. The MAP assesses student achievement in Reading, Math, and Language Usage. It is used to measure growth over the school year. On Tuesday November 2, teachers attended an inservice training session to learn how to use MAP data to evaluate student performance and set instructional goals. This information is useful not only to classroom teachers to determine how their class is performing and what to teach, but it also provides specialists like Mrs. DeYoung diagnostic tools to help identify students' individual strengths and weaknesses. The data can be used to determine which students may benefit from remediation. The reports from the MAP will also allow professionals to choose appropriate activities and materials
at a child's reading level.
