    Audience

    This professional development activity/course is designed for:

  • Practitioners from ACLS-funded programs who require training to accurately administer both the reading and mathematics MAPT-CCR assessments
Description

This seven-module online training takes approximately one hour to complete and replaces the face-to-face version of the MAPT-CCR Administration Training. For each module, you will read some information relating to one aspect of the MAPT-CCR and administration procedures. The seven modules are as follows:

  • Module 1: Background on the MAPT-CCR, What It Measures, and How it Works
  • Module 2: The Components of the MAPT-CCR
  • Module 3: Getting Ready with the OWL System and the MAPT-CCR
  • Module 4: Student Login Steps
  • Module 5: Sample Questions and Practice Tests
  • Module 6: Administration of the MAPT-CCR for Reading and the MAPT-CCR for Math
  • Module 7: MAPT-CCR Results: Interpreting and Using MAPT Test Scores

When you have completed all modules, you will be certified to administer the MAPT-CCR, and a confirmation page will load. You will also receive an email confirmation that you have completed the training, which you can keep for your records and forward to your program director as needed. ACLS and the Center for Educational Assessment at UMass-Amherst will automatically receive notification that you completed the training, so you will not need to contact either organization.
