[quote=Anonymous]Longtime MCPS educator here. MCAP is the least helpful assessment for a classroom teacher. It's a huge waste of time and takes days away from providing students with actual instruction. I do love MAP and I use the data but also recognize that it's just one data point. As educators, we have to triangulate data points to create our student's learner profile. I like to look at my students holistically - how do they perform on formative assessments in the classroom? What are their strengths/weaknesses when I meet with them in group? I don't like placing all my eggs in one testing basket so to speak. I've done a lot of work with my staff around looking at a variety of data points to better differentiate their instruction. MCAP just really isn't very helpful when you get the results six months later. Not to mention that it would give many adults a run for their money.[/quote]
