Thank you for joining me during our Advisory session yesterday. If you missed some of the information, I have attached the PowerPoint for your reference and preview. MAP Growth exams are extremely important for us to monitor your growth in Language Usage, Math, Reading, and Science, and determine goals in 2021/2022. The MAP assessments are extremely important, please participate @ 100% effort. It is an adaptive test, meaning it is tailored to YOU, and the questions are based on how you answer, and change in complexity as you answer correctly or incorrectly. The NUMBER ONE goal is to demonstrate growth annually and as you progress between Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Keep in mind the report your Advisor shared with you yesterday, you want to demonstrate annual growth.
If you have any questions, please ask any staff member. Review the schedule carefully and have a successful week!
