In grade-level team meetings, my colleagues and I discuss interpreting MAP-R and MSA test results. In addition, I review data from formative and writing assessments.  These data provide valuable information  
 
Although the seventh grade English curriculum offers many choices, MCPS teachers give one county-prepared formative assessment each quarter. Making decisions about how to modify formative assessments, which additional ones to use, and when to use them is the challenge that remains.
