The Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) is a statewide testing program in reading and mathematics, with other subject areas tested on a sampling basis. The MEAP tests are administered every fall to all fourth, seventh and tenth graders. This handbook was developed to assist educators in analyzing, using, and reporting MEAP test results. It includes an overview of the program and the description of the tests; numbers of objectives and test items for each skill area; suggested methods; techniques and strategies for using the results at the school, student, and district levels; and a discussion of the appropriate uses of the test results. Appendices include: (1) illustrated examples of how to read each of the report forms, (2) test objectives and example items for each subject and grade level, (3) a list of items measuring each grade objective, (4) variables that make a difference, (5) a flyer entitled "Understanding and Using the Individual Student Report," (6) special notes for adult educators, and (7) a listing of resource materials which can help educators use and report MEAP results.
