Parent guide to map

PARENT GUIDE TO MAP Dear Families, Now that student-led conferences are finished and you have your child’s MAP results, we would like to share some information and links with you in order for you to support your child in his/her areas of need. For more information about the overall Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) process: http://www.nwea.org/sites/www.nwea.org/files/resources/MAPBasicsOverview_0.pdf The following NWEA Parent Toolkit was created as a resource and guide for parents. It includes Frequently Asked Questions, Tips for Parents, and a list of web sites for parents and kids: http://www.nwea.org/sites/www.nwea.org/files/resources/ParentToolkit.pdf We’d also like to provide you with 2 excellent resources for at-home practice. For each, you’ll need to look at your child’s Student Goal Setting Worksheet, which was shared with you at conferences. For reading, look at your child’s RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012. Use these numbers to select appropriate activities under each goal area. This website is aligned to Minnesota standards, so there are some discrepancies in the categorizing. Our suggestion for finding comprehension activities is to use the overall RIT score for reading. Website Wording MAP Wording Word Recognition, Analysis, and Vocabulary Word Analysis and Vocabulary Comprehension: Narrative Literal, Interpretive, and Evaluative Comprehension Comprehension: Informational Literal, Interpretive, and Evaluative Comprehension Literature Literature Response/Analysis Here is the reading website: http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/ro/pages/studentlinks/map/reading.htm For math, look at your child’s RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012. Use these numbers to select appropriate activities under each goal area. For example, if your child’s RIT range for Geometry is 175-190, you would go to the click on the 171-180 and 181-190 links under Geometry and Measurement in order for find activities at your child’s level. Since Geometry and Measurement are grouped together, you would be looking for geometry skills, such as shapes. Website Wording MAP Wording Number and Operation Computation and Number Sense Geometry and Measurement Geometry and Measurement Data Analysis Statistics and Probability Algebra Algebraic Concepts Here is the math website: http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/ro/pages/studentlinks/map/ We know that parent support and at-home practice are essential for student success. We hope you find these resources useful. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Sincerely, The Discovery Elementary Team
