NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
• MAPs are administered to all students in Grades K-8 twice a year ~ once in the fall and once in the spring.
• MAPs create a personalized assessment experience by adapting to each student’s learning level—precisely measuring student progress and growth for each individual.
• MAPs enable teachers to quickly and reliably assess every student’s learning and growth to determine whether a student is ON, ABOVE, or BELOW grade level.
• MAP provides essential information about what each student knows and is ready to learn on state and college and career readiness standards.
