MEAP & AYP

MEAP (Michigan Educational Assessment Program)

The MEAP tests were first administered during the 1969-70 school year for the purpose of determining what students know and what students are able to do, as compared to standards set by the State Board of Education, at key checkpoints during the students' academic career.
The MEAP tests were developed to measure what Michigan educators believe all students should know and be able to achieve in five content areas: mathematics, reading, science, social studies, and writing. The MEAP test is the only common measure given statewide to all students. It serves as a measure of accountability for Michigan schools.

Results of MEAP tests can be used by schools for school improvement purposes. The results indicate overall strengths and weaknesses of a school district’s curriculum, and can be used to modify instructional practice. MEAP results play a significant role in accountability of schools through Michigan’s accreditation program, Education YES! and the federal accountability system, No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

MEAP Masters

MEAP Masters workshop is provided annually for Elementary, Middle and High School teams to examine their MEAP results through the filter of their classroom practices. Teachers and administrators analyze the content they teach, the assessments used and the instructional practices implemented in the classroom. By the end of the workshop teachers will have:

an increased understanding of the alignment between MEAP and the Michigan Curriculum Framework
identified focus areas targeted for improvement
an action plan to incorporate into your building’s school improvement plan

The School Improvement & Technical Assistance team creates custom data reports for your building and district to help you analyze your Outcome, Demographic and Process data.

Workshop dates will be posted when available.
