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?
