Five MAP Assessments: Grade-Level End-of-Course MAP-A LAS Links Personal Finance
The Grade-Level Assessments for Spring 2010 includes annual tests in Communication Arts and Mathematics and the 5th and 8th grade tests in Science.
Student performance will be reported using 4 achievement levels: Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic.
GRADE-LEVEL STRUCTURE
Grade and Course Level Expectations Version 2.0 of the GLEs and CLEs are finalized and on the
DESE website. These are living
documents! When issues or updates occur, changes willbe made and dates will beindicated.
All Spring of 2010 tests willbe aligned to these assessment documents! Have teachers check these against their curricula.

MAP Updates
Tests will be shorter than in past years because no field test items will be embedded.
What can I do to help prepare students for the MAP test?
Start preparing them NOW!
You can’t expect them to perform at MAP time if the expectations haven’t been in place all year.
Daily Preparations—what can I do?
Write, Write, Write!!!Read, Read, Read!!!Think, Think, Think!!!
Depth of Knowledge Individually! Please list anything you already
know about DOK. 2-3 minutes In a group, create a group list with everyone’s
information. Classify the information: group areas that are
similar. Label them!
Depth of knowledge Levels
Level 1 Recall
Recall of a fact, information, or procedure
Level 2 Skill/Concept
Use information of conceptual knowledge, two or more steps, etc.
Level 3 Strategic Thinking
Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer
Level 4 Extended Thinking
Requires an investigation, time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem
Depth of knowledge
Depth of knowledgeLevel 1
Recall and ReproductionExamples Language Arts: Which of these means about the same
thing as the word exacerbate? Science: What is the process called which plants use to
manufacture sugar from sunlight? Mathematics: Which of the following numbers, when
rounded to the nearest thousand, becomes 90,000? Social Studies: What was the main reason many leaders
in Great Britain leaned toward supporting the Confederacy in the Civil War?
Depth of knowledgeLevel 2
Using Skills and Concepts
Examples Language Arts: Which of these statements best describes what
the passage is about? Science: Which graph of heart rate bests represents that a
person walked for 2 minutes, ran for 5 minutes, walked for 2 more minutes, and ran for the last 2 minutes.
Mathematics: A car has traveled 23,456.2 miles. The next exit is 1000 feet ahead. What will the mileage gauge read then.
Social Studies: There was a sharp decline in immigration into the Unites States during the second decade of the 20th century. Which of the following best accounts for that decline?
Depth of knowledgeLevel 3
Strategic ThinkingExamples
Language Arts: The style in this passage is characterized by similes like these: “smooth as pudding”, “crisp as a fresh apple,” and “rough as shredded coconut.” Which of these best explains the author’s purpose in using these similes.
Science: In a laboratory experiment, an enzyme is combined with its substrate at time zero. The absorbance of the resulting solution is measured at five-minute intervals. In this procedure, an increase in absorbance is related to the amount of product formed during the reactions. The experiment uses three preparations. (Students will see illustrations.) The most likely reason for the failure of the absorbance to increase significantly after 10 minutes in preparation III is that… (Multiple choice options)
Depth of knowledgeLevel 4
Extended ThinkingExamples Mathematics: Students are asked to identify a “real world” problem
that requires the application of mathematics, describe the possible procedure(s) for solving, and explain the outcome and their reasoning.
Social Studies: Students are given the scenario of acid rain potentially causingproblems in a specific farming community. Students are to define and describe the problem with supporting data, propose alternative solutions to the problem, select one solution, and explain why it would be the best.
Practice
Please look at the following examples on your table and arrange them according to the levels.
Alignment
Teachers must understand that the GLEs and CLEs are an assessment document, not a curriculum. The DOK is a ceiling and may be tested at lower levels, too.
They must align their curriculum to the appropriate levels.
Tips! Make all teachers READING teachers! Encourage the use of research-based instructional
strategies! (Marzano’s Classroom Instruction That Works) Encourage student engagement. Encourage quality assessments that contain clear
learning targets, common assessments, and aligned formative assessments.
Encourage data analysis, especially of crystal reports. Encourage teachers to use that data to address the
needs of ALL STUDENTS
DESE Resources
The following are resources teachers can utilize to improve students’ scores.

Final Thoughts!
The attitudes of the teachers toward the testing processes are important!
Ask teachers to think of the test as more data that helps shape learning for their students.
Data collection and evaluation should be ongoing, not just with state data. (Assessment for learning will make powerful differences!)
