  • 1.  Standardized Achievement Tests

    Posted 03-21-2022 10:37 AM
    Asking the hive mind here - What standardized Achievement test is your school using for secondary students? We have been using Iowa tests but the recent changes to online administration have made them too overwhelming. I have a list from our local IU, but figured before I spend time investigating 7 options I would see what other schools are using.
    Thanks in advance

    We're not using any here, but at my last school we were using ERBs and the year after I left that school they switched to MAP testing. All of those were administered online. There were the obvious hiccups, but usually just a delay of a few minutes for a student. We never ran into a situation where we couldn't administer the test because of anything tech-related.

    At my current school we use ERB for 3-8th grade. I came in knowing nothing about it. It was my first year here and it was suprisingly a pretty easy process. No issues with the technology part of it. 
    In my previous school (public school) we used MAP for math assessments. I felt like it was a good assessment. We did have periodic issues with resolution on the chromebooks causing issues but it was an easy fix.

    We use MAP for grades 3-8; switched from ERB shortly after I started here 7 years ago.  Really like the online aspect, immediate feedback, the fact that the test adapts to the student while they're taking it, and that we can work with families to have their student take it if they're at home while we're administering the test.  I download the summary reports and they're added to the individual student records in our SIS so when report cards are made visible parents can also look at the scores.  Somewhat of a pain when rostering, but I've yet to come across anything that rosters with a .csv that isn't!
