Creating MAP-Like Assesments

This workshop guides educators in designing classroom assessments that closely mirror the format, rigor, and skills tested on the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment. Participants explore the structure and question types used in MAP, learn how to write standards-aligned items, and practice integrating higher-order thinking skills into assessment design. The session also covers how to use MAP-like assessments as formative tools to monitor student progress, inform instruction, and prepare students for the adaptive nature of the actual MAP test. By the end, teachers will have strategies and sample items ready to implement in their own classrooms .
