MAP Testing

Today we are MAP testing. This is the first year that we have done this test and so far I am seeing improvement on all the kids RIT scores. Its amazing how well they focus when they really want to. The only thing I am unhappy about with this test is that it is computerized. So I am watching kids that can't navigate the screens get lower scores because they are pushing the wrong buttons. We also test the Kindergartners with this same system. They are having to drag and drop without having the hand span to move the mouse properly. Maybe we should rethink how we test the younger kids when it comes to computerized testing.
