MAP Testing
Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth is an online, adaptive assessment tool developed by NWEA, used by more than 12 million students across 145 countries. At OSG, MAP Growth assesses Mathematics, Reading, and Language Usage, with Science included in North America only.
We use MAP Growth to track student learning growth and achievement, and these results are included in all Student Academic Reports.
The strength of MAP lies in its ability to provide teachers with reliable, timely data on each student’s instructional level. This enables teachers to personalise learning and tailor instruction to individual needs.
MAP Growth also fosters meaningful learning conversations between students, teachers, and parents. Students can explore where they are in their learning, where they are headed, and how they will get there - an essential skill for becoming self-directed learners.
We will be holding MAP tests on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with catch up sessions on Friday and Week Six.
Have a great weekend and we look forward to Week Five and Six
Kind regards,
Mr Sam Goodfellow
