What’s New at NWEA?
Our Partners Need More Evidence of Student Learning
Our partners use MAP to answer important questions about their students’ learning:
Is every child growing? Where will they be at the end of the school year?
Many partners have expressed a need for more student data between MAP assessments. They want to know:
Where are my students now? What progress are we making?
What skills are they missing?
Keeping Learning on Track

continuously using evidence of learning to adapt what happens in the classroom.
