There are 80 pages. <br /><br />The district's head of Research, Evaluation and Assessment at the time (not a statistician, not an assessment expert, he was a 'strategic planning' guy) did NOT share these with the school board. In fact he told them no surveys were conducted. <br /><br />In the comments you will read frustration with, and desire to use MAP in a meaningful way. Teachers received little training on how to use MAP effectively, parents received very little information. But that's because it really wasn't intended to benefit the students. It was implemented (at great expense) to try to develop a teacher evaluation system from scratch. This effort has to date exceeded $10M in cost. And it still doesn't work. And it would only cover a fraction of teachers. <br /><br />Seems alot of the posters have no clue about MAP's efficacy, the resources required to use this crappy test, and out district in general. I refuse to let my kid waste time on this junk. <br /><br />http://www.scribd.com/doc/55117389/MAP-June-2010-Teacher-Com</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-64406831537664790032013-01-18T09:41:54.935-08:002013-01-18T09:41:54.935-08:00It is interesting that the letter has no mention o...It is interesting that the letter has no mention of the well being of the students.
