MAP Roles & Responsibilities

MAP Roles & ResponsibilitiesMAP® Roles Roles and Responsibilities

Proctor(All Classroom Teachers)

Create testing sessions in advancePrepare computers before testing sessionsPrepare students for testsStart and supervise testsResolve technical difficulties during tests

Instructor(All Classroom Teachers)

View MAP reports at class and student levelsAdjust instruction based on test resultsUse instructional resources to tailor instruction for individual students

What’s New to MAP?• Students now have 28 calendar days to finish a suspended test

– It is no longer possible to resume tests that have been suspended for more than 28 days (students will not have access to complete their tests)

– 14 days is still the recommended maximum between testing, because too many days of instruction between testing have the potential to influence the score

• When preparing for make-up testing, you can now see the [Test Event Start Date]– The testing date appears in the search results– You can prioritize make-up testing for students

nearing the time limit

• Students have an improved calculator– The onscreen calculator now has a backspace key and a +/- button (

http://warmup.nwea.org/calc/app/index.html#/calculator)

• Students can reset a question– A new [Reset] button at the bottom of the test enables students to reload the question– Reset is useful when a student wants to clear the choices made and start over

• Students can attempt resume after a connection problem– In the event of an internet failure or other technical issue, a new message appears on the student’s computer

with a button to try and resume testing– If successful, and the student was in the middle of a question, then the same question should resume– Or, if the student had just finished a question, then the next question should appear

11

MAP Helpful Hints• All teachers that have students rostered to them have been uploaded into

MAP as ‘Instructors’– Teachers must login to their accounts in order to view reports– Teachers will be able to pull their class reports in MAP

• You can only assign one test per student at a time– Students can take more than one test per testing session as long as the first test has been completed

• Proctors can only login to one testing session at a time• Write Testing Session Name and Password on the board for all students to

see– Students do not need to know the progress of their peers projected on the screen.

• Deleting testing sessions does not delete student results– Testing sessions control the testing and does not store/hold test responses

• Students can only take one test per subject per assigned testing window– Only one opportunity to make a score

– DO NOT TERMINATE STUDENTS’ TESTS– R&E will make the final decision if a student can retake a test

• Shortcuts to refresh student screens– iPad/Chromebook:

• Post the “NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES” Sign12
