The BASICS...
Our students take the following MAP assessments...
a. Reading (Grades K-9)b. Mathematics (Grades K-9)c. Language Usage (Grades 2-9)
NWEA MAP Creating a personal learning journeyWe know that children learn better—and faster—when teachers have a clear picture of what each student knows and what they are ready to learn next.
That’s why our assessments react to each student’s answers. In the testing world, this makes our tests “adaptive,” or personalized to measure the needs of every student.
