We test during sept in the fall, but part of the reason is we also use the data for some grouping.
Instead of thinking about teachers looking at the map data to see if the students have grown (which they can do). We have the map data loaded into the Heart database at the AEA along with all of our ITBS/ITED, DIBELS, etc. It took some doing to get that stuff in, but now I just send them the MAP data each year and they upload it. You do have to send the AEA your ITBS demographic file early but I have an export that does it in our SIS so it is pretty easy. They then use that file for student information when they do all of the other data uploading for us. It has allowed us to keep track of all of the individual data in one setting. Much easier for the curriculum director, principals and staff to use. Thanks! Jon W. Hueser- MSE, Ed.

Good morning! Quick MAP test question for those who use this test: We took our first year of testing this year. In looking at testing for next year . . . can next year's teachers access this year's data on their students? I know we load everything based on this year's schedule/advisors . . . and because this is our first year -- I'm not sure of how it would look for next year. I know that data will follow the student -- but if it's difficult (or not possible) to see last year's data for your new classes -- it would seem necessary to test asap in the fall. Hope this makes sense.
