On these two days our Grade 9 students will complete two MAP tests in Reading and Mathematics. This testing looks at the learning growth of an individual child and benchmarks it against a significant sample from the USA and worldwide. It is a computer-based adaptive assessment looking at what an individual student can do in these two areas. Students do not need to study for this test and will complete it in either their English or Mathematics period on these two days. At ISB students in Grades 3 to 9 complete the test twice a year to help determine their growth over this time. It is used to help develop learning plans and individual student goals. Parents will receive a report later in the semester that provides feedback on the MAP test. Please note that MAP is a common assessment tool for schools but other schools will not require this test for admissions. The MAP test is run by the NWEA (North West Evaluation Association) and if you would like more information please visit their https://www.nwea.org/products-
