This is the fifth in a series of six monographs developed to help local educators use and report Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test results. An organized plan facilitates the important task of reporting test results to the school board quickly and accurately. This monograph gives one approach that enables the staff to take the offensive and initiate the reporting process before MEAP results are even returned to the district. This will reduce anxiety and provide a base for developing the districts' comprehensive reporting plan. Three different types of reports to the school board are recommended: (1) a background report on the purposes of MEAP and how the results can be used; (2) a report on actual test results, uses of results in the district, and implications of results (including other measures of achievement); and (3) follow-up reports that present specific ways test results are being used to correct problem areas. While these are not the only usable report techniques, they are effective in focusing the school board's attention on the instructional uses of MEAP, avoiding misleading comparisons with other schools or districts, and assuring the use of MEAP results to help improve student achievement. Appendixes contain resource materials. (BS)
