MAP
-89 students showed growth this school year
-5 more students are on grade level than at the beginning of the year
-17 students stayed the same
-80 students decreased
-When examining scores we believe students whose scores decreased did so due to behavior and lack of effort
-Some students decreased who were on grade level and we feel that their scores should reflect no change rather than a decrease
-The test grade as motivation definitely helped several students become more focused
-We believe a lot of the scores represent effort and attention rather than true ability.
-We are seeing a lot of apathy in the classroom and that is reflected in the MAP scores
