[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enrolled in MAP 5/6. Is this normal? I believed they only switched to 6+ at the Spring 5th [/quote] Our school made a point of saying it was required by the county. [/quote] It is. The issue is that the principal purposes of MAP are to assess how well teachers/schools are doing (it yields more analyzable data than state testing/MCAP) and to provide insight to teachers about the individual competencies (notably, sub-scores) of their students to help them hone lessons (don't get us started on how well that might be done across the system). Sticking to one version of the test across the year for students/a class is best practice for these purposes, if not absolutely essential. Though it can be used as an auxiliary support for magnet program placement, that is not MAP's designed purpose[/quote]
