MAP
MAP– Measures of Academic Progress
A Tool for Teachers
Created by educators for educators, MAP assessments provide
detailed, actionable data about where each child is on their
unique learning path.
Adapting the Test to the Student
MAP dynamically adapts to a student’s responses – as they take the
test.
Answer a question correctly and the test presents a more challenging
item
Miss a question, and MAP offers a simpler item
In this way, the test narrows in on a student’s learning level, engaging
them with content that allows them to succeed.
