Barren County’s experience with
MAP
• Started using MAP in 2003
• Currently test students 2nd - 9th grade in
Reading, Mathematics and Language
~2,938 of our 4,400 students.
• Test a growing number of students, K-1,
with Primary MAP for use with RTI and
instruction.
• Have moved beyond just using scores to
implementing what the scores can help us
do in instruction.
CLASS BY RIT
 Visual representation of diversity in each
subject.
 Range of Performance: the more RIT bands = the
greater academic diversity in the group.
Provides a instant visual of the students on the
outer ends of the scale.
Create flexible groups for specific skill
instruction.
Provides ease of access to DesCartes for specific
RIT Band planning/instruction.

School Goal Setting
• A goal is set that each class will have 85% of
students who reach or surpass their goal in 2 of the 3
subject areas.
• School theme for the year: Western – “Round up
Good Scores” Corral on the wall in the main hall
with, Ellis Dye machine or such, animals (student
name on) if student reaches their goal.
• If school reaches their goal: i.e.: Each class has 85%
of students that reach their goal- Principal will have
someone come in to give students horse back rides or
the school will give $ to help sponsor a wild mustang.
Class Goal Setting
Look at Goal Performance Area summary on reports
• Celebrate area with highest mean
• Set goal to bring up the lowest mean area
• Determine how you are going to target this area
and put a plan into place.
 Set goals with students
 Targeted Intervention
Highest Mean: Computation
Lowest Mean: Measurement
1. ¾ of the students in the class will raise their
measurement RIT by 6 or more points
2. Set up RIT band time for class or grade instruction.
Student Goal Setting
Where do you find student target goals?
1. Dynamic Reports * as shown below
2. Final Reports – ASG_Class Report *MAP Coordinator
3. Growth Calculator *Map Coordinator
Student Goal Setting
After you set the goal with your class meet with each
student individually to discuss how their individual
goals will help the class meet their goal. *Some
principals have met with the students one-on-one to
set goals.
Help the student set a reasonable goal: *Knowledge
Academy has sample interviews.
Explain what activities you will be doing to help meet
the class goal and allow the student to come up with
ways in which they can meet their individual goal.
Student Led Conferences: Students meet with
parents to discuss their goals. Give parents a copy of
DesCartes for the RIT band you are targeting and
have them determine things they can do at home.
Student Goal Setting
Implementing RIT Band time will help
students meet their goals.
•
• Focusing on a goal will help the students to
engage in extra activities that will help them
meet the goals.
• Involving parents will give both the student
& parent ownership in the growth goals.
Ideas for RIT Band Time
 4 teachers – 30 minutes - 3 times a week -6 weeks
Divide Computation RIT bands into 4 academic diverse
groups. Each teacher works with small groups to
supplement instruction with activities that are not from
the core math curriculum. Activities may include
worksheets for drill and practice.
 10 teachers – 35 minutes- 2 times a week -6 weeks
Looking at the Measurement RIT band student groups
are worked with using hands –on material, videos,
computer software, but activities do not include
worksheets for drill and practice.

Where can I go to get ideas and share
information with other MAP districts?
