Our Partners Need More Evidence of Student Learning
Our partners use MAP to answer important questions about their students’ learning:
Is every child growing? Where will they be at the end of the school year?
Many partners have expressed a need for more student data between MAP assessments. They want to know:
Where are my students now? What progress are we making?
What skills are they missing?
