El Dorado Middle School, Kansas, is using MAP® Skills™ from NWEA® to ensure every single student is getting instruction where they need it most, and it is having a huge impact on student growth and achievement, including special education students. Besides empowering students to monitor their own learning, MAP Skills enables teachers to move students forward. The state mandates that El Dorado educators provide targeted, individualized instruction for all students, and MAP Skills provides a building-wide platform for this. Teachers first analyze MAP Growth data to find the lowest instructional areas; then, they select a single strand to focus on in each subject. A recent focus has been on number sense and language usage--two key areas of need. After assigning a Skills Locator test in the focus strands, teachers group students by missing skills and provide targeted instruction. Finally, they retest using Mastery Checks within MAP Skills. El Dorado repeats this process until every student masters the skills that they were missing. Teachers also provide an individual data sheet for each student, allowing them to track their own progress and take ownership of their learning.
