MAP Growth Testing
GO-Wilm will be conducting MAP growth testing remotely during the second week of school, Sept 13-17.
About MAP
MAP Growth helps teachers understand what students know today, so goals can be set to improve growth throughout the year. Students cannot pass or fail this test.
This test will not affect grades. In fact, it’s normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly. Please don’t help them!
Given the challenges of learning from home, MAP Growth test results are especially helpful for us this year. These results will help us know what students are ready to learn.
Prior to Test Day
1. Make sure your device has an internet connection
2. Disable pop-up blocking on your internet browser Disable Popup Blockers
3. Make sure your device meets testing requirements using the Workstation Diagnostic Tool
4. Make sure your child has headphones

¿Qué es MAP Growth?
MAP Growth le permite al maestro saber lo que sus estudiantes saben y así pueden establecer metas para progresar durante el año. Los estudiantes no pasan ni reprueban la prueba.
La prueba no afecta a las calificaciones. En realidad, es común que el estudiante responda correctamente la mitad de las preguntas. ¡Favor de no ayudarle!
Dados los desafíos de aprender desde casa, los resultados de MAP Growth son particularmente útiles este año. Nos ayudan a saber aquello que el estudiante está listo para aprender.
El día anterior a la prueba
1. Asegúrese de que su dispositivo tenga conexión a la red
2. Desactive el bloqueador de ventanas emergentes (pop-up blocking) en el navegador Disable Popup Blockers
3. Asegúrese de que el dispositivo cumple con los requerimientos para la prueba según la herramienta Workstation Diagnostic Tool
4. Asegúrese de que su hijo/a tenga auriculares
