Parent guide to MAO

What is MAP?  Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computerized adaptive assessment program that provides Saint Bridget School educators with the information they need to improve teaching and learning and make student-focused, data-driven decisions.  Students in grades Kindergarten through grade 8 are tested three times per year in math, reading and language usage.  Educators use the growth and achievement data from MAP to develop targeted instructional strategies and to plan school improvement.
