How does NWEA MAP Growth assessment results inform a student's individualized learning progression?

NWEA provides adaptive assessments called the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP and MAP for Primary Grades) that provide data on student achievement levels. The assessments are state-aligned, computerized adaptive tests that evaluate skills in Reading, Language Usage, Math 2-5, and Math 6+. Classworks reads and imports student results from NWEA MAP Growth, automatically assigning an individual learning progression for each student based on the student's Instructional Area RIT score.

By using data from a nationally recognized assessment program, like NWEA, to individualize learning in Classworks, you can provide relevant instruction for every student, giving them the exact skills they need at the level they need them.

NWEA MAP testing data and Classworks

Enabling the NWEA integration allows Classworks to automatically load any NWEA results once they are available for students. Once results have been added to Classworks, they will be analyzed, and the student's Individualized Learning Progressions will be created/updated automatically!

1. To view NWEA MAP Growth test data in Classworks, click on the Student's Name or on "View Detail."

2. Click "Additional Test Data."
3. Any NWEA Growth data that has been uploaded for that student will appear here.

4. Classworks uses the GLE of the Subgoal RIT score to align the Subgoal to the Classworks skill domain and turn on the aligned skills in the progression for each student.
