Arizona Measure of Academic Progress: Third Annual Look at Growth in Arizona Schools.
Aportela, Anabel
The 2001 results of Arizonas Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) mark the third annual release of this important school accountability tool. The 2001 MAP results are slightly different from the results of previous years in that they show the percent of students who achieve One Years Growth (OYG) and present results in a more accessible format. The percentage of students making OYG from 2000 to 2001 ranged from 65% in second to third grade mathematics to 82% in fifth to sixth grade mathematics. When all students achieve OYG, schools will ensure that no students are falling behind. MAP results do not show any gap for students from ethnic groups, although percentile ranks do indicate significant gaps between students of different ethnic groups. This finding does illustrate that schools are moving students forward at the same rate, although the challenge still remains to bring up the absolute achievement level of minority students. A guide is presented to reading the MAP reports. (SLD)
