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:
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:
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.

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.

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.
