ELEMENTARY LANGUAGE ARTS PARENT SUPPORT WEBSITE

MAP (or Measures of Academic Progress) is an online test used in

Grades 1-8 MAP allows us to assess where a

student is, and how they’ve grown in achievement, several times each year.

This year all Elementary and Middle schools will participate in MAP.

MAP gives teachers timely feedback on student progress throughout the school

year that they can use to adjust instruction effectively.

Testing

PARCC is the name for the new reading, writing and mathematics

assessments developed by the multi-state Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.

PARCC assessments are closely aligned to the Common Core standards. PARCC

replaces the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) for math and reading/English language arts.

PARCC was piloted in selected schools last year. This year PARCC will be

implemented in every school in Grades 3-11.

WHO is involved?• Every 1st-5th grader in all

Howard County Public Schools will be instructed using the new Building Vocabulary
