Scrap the MAP! Rally Tomorrow
Scrap the MAP! Rally Tomorrow, January 23rd
Educators, parents and students are opposing the MAP Test at many Seattle Schools at this time.
Why?
· The test isn’t based on school curriculum or state standards. It does not test critical thinking or creativity.
· The test is being misused for student placement and evaluating teachers, despite the testmaker’s warnings against this.
· The data is inconsistent and undependable (predicted errors are greater than expected student gains).
· Students do not take it seriously because they know it is a joke. Most do worse when tested the second time.
· The test is a waste of students’ learning time and school resources.
· The test is described by the State Auditor’s office as an ethics violation. It is.
· Every student is treated as a number. They are much more complex than this and deserve better. We all do.
Enough is Enough
