Throughout the year, we implement MAP Growth Assessment, the most trusted and innovative assessment for measuring achievement and growth in K–8 math, reading, language usage, and science. It provides teachers with accurate, and actionable evidence to help target instruction for each student or group of students regardless of how far above or below they are from their grade level.
