Facts to remember about RITFacts to remember about RIT
•Although RIT is an equal interval scale, because most components of effective reading are learned early in the school years, the amount of growth slows as students move up through the grades. (Look at Norms.)
•Although the rate of growth slows in higher grades, MAP may still be able to point to specific areas of strengths and needs --students at the same Overall RIT do not necessarily need the same instruction

Grade-level norms Typical performance
for each grade level
Beginning-of-Year, Middle-of-Year, and End-of-Year
Mean, which can be skewed by highs and lows, is similar to Median because of large data sample

How does NWEA derive Normative How does NWEA derive Normative Data?Data? Norms calculated
every three years (latest calculation made available 9/11)
Largest normative data base in U.S
2008 database was 2.8 million. 2011 = 5.2 million

The MAP Adaptive AssessmentThe MAP Adaptive AssessmentThe Biggest Mistake Districts Make: •Not preparing students adequately for the adaptive nature of the test.•The test will start with questions at the “typical” grade/time of year representing each student’s enrolled grade.•Students far below grade level may experience 5 questions in a row that are too hard for them to answer.•ALL students, even gifted, should expect to experience many questions they cannot answer as the assessment moves to different targets.•The first test will be the one where students encounter the most difficult questions. After the first test, the program will “remember” the students’ levels and start from there.
Instructional Level vs. MasteryInstructional Level vs. Mastery
The MAP test:
Provides information about the instructional level of the student—not the independent level.
Provides a road map for students toward achieving mastery.
Is not a test for determining mastery of skills.

Larger standard deviations indicate more academic diversity.
How might this impact instruction?
Standard Deviation = 21
Smaller standard deviations indicate that students are more alike.
