Beginning in the 2nd Semester term of the 2009 - 2010 school year, ICSL moved it's standardized testing from the pencil & paper Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) to the computer-based Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). Students and teachers alike were trained on how the system worked and how results could be used in the classroom.

Below is information for students, parents, and teachers to prepare for testing and post-test information.

Students

Your teachers will be having conferences with you in Quarter 2 to help you prepare for our next testing in February. You can find some goal sheets here that you can download and print.

Here are some questions you can ask your teacher:

• What was my last RIT score?
• What is my new RIT score?
• How can I improve in different goal areas?
• How have you seen improvement in my work?
• What suggestions do you have for me that I can use to improve my score?

Student PowerPoint® Presentation - You can use this PowerPoint® to help you understand the test BEFORE you take the test.

Elementary Goal Sheet - This form will help you, your teacher, and parents establish a goal and ways to achieve that goal for the next testing time.

Secondary (Middle & High School) Goal Sheet - This form will help you, your teacher, and parents establish a goal and ways to achieve that goal for the next testing time.
