A way to improve MAP scores?

•	Avoid test burnout by extending the testing period.
•	Allows for morning only testing.
•	Allows for mostly mid-week testing (DESE recommendation).
•	Allows extra time for progressing students to finish the test.
•	MAP scores have improved at schools that have changed from a 1 week to a 2 week testing period – Clever is one example.
•	Would give the 5/6th the option of afternoon only testing for ITBS
