Grades Tested: K-8

NWEA stands for Northwest Evaluation Association, which is the non-profit organization that provides the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP test) for grades K-8.

Growth MAP -
The tests adapt according to the student's response to each question. If the student answers a question correctly, the following questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier. The goal of an NWEA test is to provide questions that are difficult enough for the student to answer approximately half the items correctly and half incorrectly. The final score is an estimate of the student’s achievement level, which may be different from the student’s grade level. When a student finishes, we immediately receive instructional levels for each of the Indiana Academic Standards, which helps inform instruction.

Grades Tested: K-2

MAP^® Reading Fluency™ -
This is an adaptive universal screening and progress monitoring assessment for early reading skills. It can gather data on oral reading fluency, literal comprehension, and foundational reading skills as well as screen for risk factors for dyslexia or other reading difficulties.
