[quote=Anonymous]That's what they always were meant for -- a way of seeing how schools and school systems were doing overall. Using them for CES and the like has been done out of convenience and cost reduction. Though over a long series (multiple tests over years) there can be some indication of a student's progress, and teachers can use that as a hint for what a child might need, individual MAP scores at any one point in time aren't particularly reliable as the guiding indicator of a student's ability. By high school, when program admission is water under the bridge and courses are more or less self-selected (allowing for pre-requisites), MAP remains as that means of evaluating [i]school/school system[/i] performance, with great enough numbers to be statistically significant, and, perhaps, giving parents additional data points in the series, to go along with grades when considering their child's probable progress.[/quote]
