Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
Universal Screener and Diagnostic Test AIMSWeb is only a screener
Adaptive test items Depending on how student answers, MAP
adjusts the next items given. Provides continuum that lists concepts
and skills as emerging, developing, to be developed.
Getting to Know Descartes
MAP uses a measurement scale that has proven to be stable and valid over time. It is based on the same modern test theory that
aligns student achievement levels with item difficulties on the same scale.
The scale is divided into an equal interval scale (like centimeters on a ruler). These are called RITs, which is short for Rasch Unit
(named after the founder of the test theory). The RIT scale measures a student’s academic
growth over time.
Individual Student Growth Report
Stand Up, Match Up, Give One, Get One
One minute by yourself Study the sample Achievement Status
and Growth Class report and think about the ways you might use this report in your school.
One minute by yourself Write down two to three of the ideas
you came up with Stand up, hand up (like high five).
Find someone not in your grade level AND not sitting next to you. Match up (Burst high five). Share one of your ideas with your
partner Partner shares one idea with you
Whole group debrief and record
Grade level ladders
Sit with teacher(s) in grade level above/below you Sit with teacher(s) in at least one different content
area Look at Descartes continuum Choose one goal strand for content area of choice
(reading, language, science) Match up proficient RIT goal level Analyze skills expected at your grade level and
compare to skills expected at each other’s grade levels How do these compare to standards?
Repeat for additional goal strands
