From Testing to Teaching: Using MAP Data Application to Inform Instruction

Participants in this institute will be guided through a process of analyzing MAP data in order to understand what the results mean and how they can be used effectively to inform instruction.

Julie and Lesley are currently working at the American Cooperative School of Tunis, a school with documented success in MAP data use. They will share their own practical experiences of using MAP data as part of the formative and summative assessments in their school as well as other collaborative models of data use regarding individual students, cohort groups and the school as a whole.

Discussions will also include ways to share the data with students, parents and the Board.

*Please bring your laptop to this workshop.

K-10 classroom teachers, learning specialists, including librarians, all school administrators, Board.

Participants will. . .

• obtain skills in analyzing their MAP data.
• gain confidence in interpreting the test results of their students.
• acquire ideas for application of their MAP data.
• engage with colleagues to develop efficient, data-driven systems in their own schools.

Participants should have some experience with use of MAP data. Optimally, participants would have access to their school's recent test data during the institute.

*Please bring your laptop to this workshop.
