[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much variation by teachers and different standards for different teachers and in different schools.

We look at the MAP scores and find them more informative.  It’s a standardized test across the country and you have an idea where your DC really stands.

Of course if DC gets a low mark liKe a 2 on report cards, we find that is of value to evaluate weaknesses but DC typically does well.

Dcps first grade teacher here. We don’t administer MAP (I have no idea what that is). Can you explain more? [/quote]

Here you go.  See link below.  I really like it because it’s adaptive. There is not the same set of questions for every kid.  If the kid gets the right answer, then the next question is harder.  It keeps getting harder until the kid gets the wrong answer.  You are given a raw school, a percent improvement score (kids usually take it beginning of year and then again mid and end of year), and overall percentage in regards to where your child stands nationwide.

At my DCPS we use iReady, which is adaptive.  This past year was the first time we administered iReady to first graders.[/quote]
