[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has a y mcps started the MAP winter test yet for 3rd graders? I don't even know when the testing window is.[/quote] Yes. The window started in mid-December and goes through the end of January. Difficulties scheduling vs. other assessments accounts for some variation in timing among schools. Early in the window means less instruction prior to taking MAP, with a small, but measurable, deficit in expected score vs. peers taking MAP later in the window, per NWEA. Immediately after winter break offers its own learning retention challenges. Late January would be expected to result in marginally higher scores, but, again, might conflict with scheduling of other assessments. It wouldn't matter so much if it wasn't used as a litmus for program placement. From a pure MAP growth perspective (a more true-to-intent use of the tool), it's best to be reasonably consistent with timing in the window from year to year.[/quote]
