Rationale: 

MAP tests offer an interim level assessment, three times per year, aligned to NE state standards in the subject areas of Reading, Language Usage, and Math.  Through both status (norm-referenced) and growth reporting, MAP provides actionable information on measures of students’ skills and their progress, independent of grade level, for individualized and group-level instructional direction.

Rationale: 

 

The Benchmark Assessment System was designed for teachers to systematically examine a student’s strengths and needs to gather data about reading behaviors and processing in order to develop instructional goals.  It is not only a matter of getting scores or a level; it is the observation of students while reading and writing that provides the teacher with important information for planning instruction. 

Our teachers use Benchmark Assessment data to create small reading groups to develop and address instructional goals.  This program allows us to appropriately differentiate instruction and support student reading development.
