Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Achieving Only Half Of MAP Growth - Worry or Not?

Thanks aeh! So right now, one good idea is to look at the SRI test. I wonder if I can get my school to use it. I wonder if I can get it administered independently. If convenient, how can I corroborate for them your observation that MAP is "intended to sort and monitor progress in students for the purposes of remediating low achievers".

So SRI can cover reading. Can we think of one for math?

Am I understanding you correctly, that SAT and ACT will at some point release tests that cover say 8th - 12th (?) grade abilities. I wonder what they will name this product and when it might be released.

I might conjecture further, that MAP might be okay for a gifted school, for K-4. But come 5th-8th grade, its starting to seem ill-suited. In that there are no low achievers at a gifted school, and that the high achievers will hit the practical MAP ceiling.
