MAP Precisely measure achievement and growth MAP® GrowthTM is the standard-bearer for measuring achievement and growth

in K–12 reading and language usage. By dynamically adjusting to each student’s performance, MAP Growth creates a personalized assessment experience that accurately measuresachievement—whether a student performs on, above, or below grade level. Timely, easy-to-use reports provide rich context to make instructional and operational decisions with confidence. Students whose MAP Growth results indicate that they are reading one or more years below grade level based on their RIT or Lexile score, but have mastered foundational skills, are placed into the appropriate level of Comprehension Segments . This section of the Student App provides recursive instruction in comprehension skills in Stages B and C.

MAP Growth is an untimed computer-adaptive online assessment that measures students’ academic achievement and reading growth over time . Because MAP Growth is an adaptive assessment, each student will have a unique, individualized testing experience . MAP Growth draws from a large bank of multiple-choice and technology-enhanced test items and adapts the difficulty of each set of questions in response to student performance . When a student

responds correctly, test items become more challenging. For more information about the MAP Growth click HERE .

Code Placement Assessment (CPA) To determine placement, eligible students complete a screener called the Code Placement Assessment (CPA) . Students who have a RIT score ≤195 or a Lexile score below 600L in grades 6−12 may be eligible for foundational literacy instruction through the Code Segments . Upon their first log-in to the Student App, these students will first watch the Mindset Matters video and then complete CPA 1 . The CPA assesses Letter Sounds, High-Frequency Words, Decoding, and Morphology . The assessment measures the accuracy and speed of students’ responses. The CPA can be used for placement and progress monitoring . Each CPA automatically determines where students should be placed in the Student App at one of five placement options. The CPA provides three foundational literacy skills assessments that are used to diagnose, place students, and track progress in foundational skills mastery throughout the year. Students whose CPA results indicate gaps in foundational skills will be automatically placed into Student App Code Segments where they will receive systematic, individualized instruction to help close skills gaps.
