[quote=Anonymous]If I were designing the regional programs, I would include a better process to select students for the selective programs. Choosing kids for programs based on a single MAP-M or MAP-R data point and a limited subset of class grades is not a robust way to select the best students. MAP is a test of exposure to concepts and not a test of cognitive ability and there are so many Rockville cram schools charging parents thousands of dollars to prep their kids for these tests and it becomes meaningless. -Using both MAP and COGAT scores would be far more robust. -Using both MAP -M and MAP-R scores for selection rather than just MAP-M for STEM and MAP-R for IB would allow strong all-around students to get selected -Using multiple MAP data points over a year rather than a single testing date would ensure kids don’t just cram for one test and test high as a fluke [/quote]
