北京君誠外國語學校，一周精彩（MAP測試,足球比賽,迎國慶）

 　　一、二至十年級MAP測試（MAP Test from Grade 2 to 10）

　　9月下旬，北京君誠學校二至十年級的學生統一參加了為期兩周的MAP測試。MAP測試是一個在美國和全球公認的學業(yè)評估系統，采用機考模式，測試學生在英語語言使用、數學和英語閱讀方面的學術水平。通過MAP測試，我們可以知道：

　　• 本學年用來衡量學生成長的基準分數，可以與往年數據相比較。• 百分數，顯示學生和世界各地的孩子組成的年級標準化小組的對比。• 在閱讀方面的 lexile 得分，幫助家長和學校選擇合適的英語書籍。• 非常詳細的連續(xù)學習，讓老師清楚學生該準備學習什么技能。(有關MAP的進一步詳細介紹，家長敬請移步以下鏈接：教學 | 揭開「MAP測試」的面紗) MAP測試沒有計時，每個測試模塊 80分鐘，但是大多數學生只需要 40 到 60 分鐘就可以完成測試。二年級的學生只參加閱讀和數學考試。3-5 年級的學生參加閱讀、語言運用和數學考試。6-10年級的學生參加閱讀，語言運用，數學和科學四門測試。MAP測試的重點不在于分數，其目的是幫助學校觀測學生在整學年的學術成長。

　　In late September, SIBS students from Grade2 to 10 took part in a two-week MAP test. MAP test is a recognized academic assessment system in the United States and around the world that uses a computer test model to test students' academic skills in English language application,mathematics as well as English reading.

　　With the MAP test, we can see:

　　• The benchmark scores used this school year to measure students’ growth, and it can be compared with previous years'data.

　　• Percentage, showing a comparison between our students and the standardized groups made up of students around the world.

　　• Lexile scores in reading to help parents and our school choose the right English books.

　　• Very detailed continuous learning to help the teacher know what skills the student should be prepared to learn.

　　(For further details of MAP test, parents are kindly requested to move to the following link：教學 | 揭開「MAP測試」的面紗)

　　The MAP test is not timed. Each test module is 80 minutes, but most students only need 40 to 60 minutes to complete the test. Grade 2 students only take English reading and math tests. Students from Grade 3 to 5 take English reading, English language application, and math tests. Students from Grade 6 to 10 take four tests: English reading, English language application, math and science.

　　The MAP test is not focusing on grades, and it is designed to help schools observe students' academic growth throughout the school year.
