Schools See Amazing Academic Growth in MAP ScoresRobbinsdale Area Schools are proving that their students' academic growth is much more than a passing thing. After every elementary school in the district experienced above average growth from Fall 2010 to Spring 2011 in both math and reading on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), an assessment designed to monitor student learning, the 2012 Winter MAP scores prove that the students in Robbinsdale Area Schools are continuing that success in their learning. From Fall 2011 to Winter 2012, every elementary school again saw great growth - over 50% of their students made at least average growth in both reading and math - and most of those gains are in double-digits from just two years ago. Click here to read more. ___________________________________________________________ NCLB Waiver Listening Session Scheduled Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius will hold a town hall listening session on Wed., March 21 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at Osseo High School to discuss Minnesota's new accountability system and the NCLB waiver.
