Write a statement a teacher might say if they are pushing back about MAP Testing. by Amelia Gorman https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6 Write a response to 2-3 statements by adding a comment en-us 2021-09-16 20:46:24 UTC 2021-09-17 15:31:07 UTC hello@padlet.com The amount of time the test takes to administer isn't worth the data it gives me https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748972893 2021-09-17 15:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748972893 This test is useless. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748973506 2021-09-17 15:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748973506 It's too big a loss of instructional time so early in the year. I have never found a way to have the data actually inform my instruction. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748973849 2021-09-17 15:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748973849 I already know how my students skills are low. This test is a waste of my time. squessa https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748974609 2021-09-17 15:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748974609 This test doesn't provide me with the information to plan standards-based lessons. aseverson5 https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975107 2021-09-17 15:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975107 The results of this test aren't valid because students don't take it seriously. And, my students have so much test trauma already, I don't see why we need to give them more tests to be anxious about. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975263 2021-09-17 15:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975263 My kids aren't going to do well on this or understand the material. The technology will be a barrier also. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975634 2021-09-17 15:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748975634 Why are we using a test that has so many tech glitches/issues? jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976523 2021-09-17 15:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976523 This was such a mess last year. aseverson5 https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976866 2021-09-17 15:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976866 This test is normed against some of the most under performing states in the country. Why are we using it? bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976949 2021-09-17 15:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748976949 The results don't match the students performance on other assessments or what I have observed. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748977962 2021-09-17 15:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748977962 bnajjarowens2 https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978130 I don't see the connection between this assessment and what I am teaching in the classroom]]> 2021-09-17 15:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978130 Teachers are very overwhelmed by the technology, time commitment and confusion. I know that training were offered about 2 years ago, but not many people received it so they may say they are unprepared. I would tell them that it will only get better dlopez68 https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978623 2021-09-17 15:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978623 I've watched my students click through and just click and click and click. The data isn't helpful. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978899 2021-09-17 15:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978899 We dedicated 3 days to administering this test and it doesn't tell us anything useful about our kids. What's the point? bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978951 2021-09-17 15:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748978951 These reports are overwhelming. I don't even know what a RIT score means. bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748980119 2021-09-17 15:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748980119 There is no prefect screener and it is a starting place. As teachers we need to do additional assessments to find where they are. cmulhern3 https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748980829 2021-09-17 15:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748980829 Out of 8 school days so far, the wifi in our building has been out for over 50% of them. This will make it hard for everyone in the school on testing days. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982047 2021-09-17 15:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982047 This test takes too much time and the data is not specific on what interventions to use https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982127 2021-09-17 15:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982127 I don't like MAP because it focuses a lot on LEXILE, which is JUST QUANTITATIVE. Sometimes, texts are hard because of the QUALITATIVE value of. it. bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982834 2021-09-17 15:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748982834 What do we do if we know the data doesn't match what we know about the student? What if they are just guessing and not trying during it? Test fatigue is causing scores to not match what we actually know about them. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748983351 Response: this is one of many tools we use to inform us about our students, we are building in grade level times to identify any student scores that we don't think matches what we see day to day]]> 2021-09-17 15:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748983351 So, we're giving a test so that we can give them more tests? bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748984576 2021-09-17 15:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748984576 None of these tests work for my ELL students https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748986950 2021-09-17 15:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748986950 Our kids don't need all this testing. We need to teach them well and all these tests take away from that. bmontlouis https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748989481 2021-09-17 15:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748989481 This test just doesn't reflect what my kids can do. https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748991422 2021-09-17 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748991422 This doesn't give me usable data https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748992213 2021-09-17 15:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agorman4/qu9vz1lizpwxkza6/wish/1748992213 None of these tests work fo students with disabilities; they can't access them.
