MAP (Reading and Math) - an adaptive assessment that provides information for all students regardless if they are currently below, at, or above grade level. MAP is real time data that is aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards. Teachers are looking for performance over time. Scores may decline from one test to the next. One low test score is not cause for immediate concern.
