Achieving Success in South Carolina by Using MAP Data to Inform Instruction. School District of Oconee County, SC. Case Study: MAP Growth
NWEA
At Tamassee-Salem Elementary School in South Carolina, teacher Anna Durham likes to have data conferences with her third graders. She creates a simple graph of their MAP® Growth™ interim assessment scores with past and current scores, along with a future goal. She believes talking about goals--and how they will get there together--helps to engage students in their own growth. And that engagement with MAP Growth data yields results. Durham lights up when she tells the story of one student who showed amazing growth from last spring to this winter: "He gained 29 points on winter testing! He just sat here and grinned when he and I were conferencing together." Part of the Oconee County School District, Tamassee-Salem Elementary is one of 10 elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools that comprise the district. A MAP Growth partner for more than 10 years, Oconee educators have embraced working with data and supporting their teachers in using MAP Growth to make instructional decisions. This case study discusses how Oconee teachers find value in growth data and connect to classroom tools. It also touches on how Oconee administrators made achieved success and their plans to move forward with the MAP Suite of assessments.
