Families, in your students' Progress Report envelope, you will find MAP and ISAT reports.
ISAT testing was done last Spring. This is a snapshot view of your student's performance at that time based on State Standards and the new Common Core standards. All cut scores were changed this year for all students. As a result, a direct comparison to previous years achievement is no longer valid. Students will likely see a lower score than previous years. This decision was made by the State of Illinois.
MAP testing has been in place in our district since 2008. You will see a graph of your student's performance in an "apples to apples" comparison from year to year. My opinion is that reading this graph is best done viewing general growth as a whole rather than focusing on one specific data point (test day).
