[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC’s 6th grade math teacher sent out an email about ixl. Urging parents and students to practice skills in order to increase their MAP M scores. FWIW my DC is in AMP 7+. Not sure if this is a common behavior to email parents about an upcoming MAP testing and asking them to practice ixl. Do teachers have any incentive here? Why so much focus on MAP scores for 6th graders in AMP 7+ when they all will land in Algebra 1 next year anyway. This is the first time I have come across this. DC is mu 3rd child going through the same middle school. Is there something I am missing??[/quote]

The teacher wants your kid to solidify their understanding so they can succeed in Algebra and beyond. She wants the kids to make academic progress, which is measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test.

What is confusing about this?
Study --> Perform -> Certify [/quote]

Confusing because I have not heard of this much emphasis on MAP scores by a teacher. [/quote]

Lower income school? If I were a teacher at a lower income school and I knew the district was using that one indicator to make selections for magnet programs that I believed my students deserve to be in I would for sure push this with parents.[/quote]

No, we at a high performing ‘W’ feeder middle school. Which is why this is more confusing.[/quote]
