M.8.SP.4 Skill Map

“Think of the learning map model as a common road map. Although students may share a common destination, they often begin their journeys from different points on the map. The learning map model helps parents and educators guide students to success by showing them where a student is now, where the student has been, and where the student is going. That is, the learning map model helps parents and educators identify a student’s current knowledge and skills, see how the student has developed over time, and look forward to more advanced academic content the student can learn next.”
