Implementation
K - 8th grade students and additional high school students in select courses will take the Reading and Mathematics tests three times a year. Testing windows are included on the assessment calendar.
*9th / 10th grades -- MAP tests will be given at the beginning and end of courses.
MAP Growth tests will be administered by classroom teachers. Grades K - 1 take approximately 30 - 40 minutes and Grades 2 - 9 take approximately 45 - 75 minutes .
The intent of MAP Growth is for the classroom. This test is a classroom assessment, given by classroom teachers, for instructional purposes -- NOT for grades.
MAP Growth can be delivered on laptops, desktops and all iPads (NWEA MAP app).
