Adaptive Assessment Tools for Pre-K – Grade 3:

MAP for Primary Grades (MPG) &

Children’s Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA)

Assessing Growth & Skills for Early Learners

Today’s Agenda

• Assessing Growth K-2– MAP for Primary Grades

• Assessing Skills for Early Learners PreK-3– Children’s Progress Academic

Assessment (CPAA)

Who are we?

• International not-for-profit• Founded nearly 40 years

ago• Over 6,800 partners• Nearly 8 million kids• 4.5 billion test events

How can we help all of our youngest students succeed?

We need to be able to answer 2 critical questions about each student:

Guide instruction throughout the year

Is this student growing as expected?

What skills has this student developed

& what is she ready to learn next?

Assessing Growth for Early Learners

MAP for Primary Grades

MPG: Grades K-2

• Valid & reliable growth measure

• Adaptive, RIT scale

• Efficient

• Instant reports

• Rated by NCRTI as Universal Screener

• K-12 scale

Assessment Look & Feel

RIT Scale as a Yardstick

• Rasch Unit• Stable equal-interval scale• Linked to standards• Achievement scale• Measures item difficulty• Shows growth over time• Grade-independent
