How can MAP data be used to support the assessment milestones identified at each stage of the IB Program?
What is the correlation between various MAP reports and IB assessment protocols?

Correlating the IB assessment protocols, ATLs and ATTs to the MAP data will help to focus the teaching practice and influence instructional decisions.
