Measures of Academic Growth

We have recently completed our first session of MAP testing in Grades 3-8. Students experienced this adaptive assessment in Mathematics and Reading which approximates their current level of readiness for skill development and progression. This learning data provides teachers with essential information to inform groupings, interventions, and extensions to ensure that each student is growing long their personal learning trajectory. Overall, our students performed very well on this assessment, with 31% scoring above the 80th percentile in Mathematics, and 26% scoring above the 80th percentile in Reading (U.S. Norms). 

In response to this data, teachers are taking multiple steps to personalise learning for students. These include: 

• Supporting students to choose texts to match their reading levels 

• Designing AI-informed tutors for differentiated numeracy skill practice 

• Flexibly grouping students within classes based on strengths and needs 

• Extending students to apply skills more deeply and across multiple contexts 

• Creating individual action plans for students in need of additional scaffolds and support structures.
