Map Testing
Program Overview
At Berkeley International School, we have high expectations for our students and are committed to supporting their individual academic journeys. To help us achieve this, we use Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) Growth™ assessments in English and mathematics.
These tests allow us to measure each student’s personal progress throughout the year, providing a clear picture of what they know and what they are ready to learn next. This valuable information helps our teachers tailor their instruction to meet the unique needs of every child.
What is MAP® Growth™?
MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive assessment that creates a personalized testing experience for each student. Unlike traditional tests, MAP Growth adjusts the difficulty of the questions based on a student’s ongoing performance. This dynamic format provides a highly accurate measure of their academic level, regardless of whether they are performing on, above, or below their grade level.
The key focus of MAP Growth is to measure individual growth over time. The results provide teachers with timely, actionable data to:
- Differentiate instruction to better support or challenge students.
- Partner with students to set meaningful learning goals.
- Monitor academic growth from one term to the next.
This approach ensures that we can effectively support every student in reaching their full potential.
