001[Music] I think one of the greatest benefits of the map data is the ability to track our students and really use that data from year to year so after the students take their initial assessment we're able to look at that data um and see how they're progressing on each so strand for math and reading um help make growth for them and create those instructional groups based on the scores that they receive and then using the growth that they have during the rest of the remainder of the school year we're actually able to move those groups and make decisions based on how we think those students are progressing so it's really great for us being able to see our students and track their progress from year to year even at the beginning of next year we'll
002be able to look at the data from this year and make decisions on where those students should be grouped in the classes that they should be taking for their best success um I think map has a lot of different benefits but I think the ones that are um the the biggest for me one that we can see where the kids Fair on a national level how they compete against other kids in their grade level um but we also see where they are from when they got here in the fall to where they are in the spring how much information they've obtained how much knowledge they how how much knowledge they've grown in over the course of a school year um and I think that kids should have personal best like they should understand that yes
003you know you have to know what all kids your age should know but you should also celebrate your wins and um I think map gives them the opportunity to celebrate the small wins and their growth for their personal best
