Measures of Academic Progress
During parent teacher conferences, you received NWEA MAP results to families. Those families who unable to attend parent teacher conferences will have their results mailed home. NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a computerized standardized test that measures a student's academic skills in reading and math. The test is designed to help teachers identify students' strengths and weaknesses, and to track their growth over time.
As more test administrations are completed, reports will begin to show multiple data points that indicate the learning trajectory of your student as measured by MAP assessments.
As with all other assessment data, it is important to remember the MAP assessment is only one measure that we use to determine your child’s strengths and instructional needs. If you have any questions regarding this assessment or your student’s results, please contact your child’s teacher or Mr. Schmidt.
