Re: MAP Testing Schedule

More | Report Post

We take only one session per day. I only have 3rd grade as a tested
grade in my building. Last year we gave the math test one week,
skipped a week and then gave the comm arts test the third week of our
district testing window. We also move session 2 in CA to the last
session, because it is completely different from any other part of
the test and worth the fewest points (for the most effort). Our kids
did really well this past year (best ever.) I think that 7 straight
days of testing is too much and our kids were ready to give up before
the end. That is why we decided on the "week off" schedule. I think
it helped the students persevere. I am sure we will be doing it
again this year.

ITA with moving the MAP window later. Schools that get out earlier
would be able to start earlier w/in the window. With all the
emphasis and oxygen given to the MAP, it is hard to keep the kids
going for an additional three weeks or month.
