MAP
* NWEA/Northwest Evaluation Association is a non- profit organization with regional offices in Portland, Indianapolis, and Houston. * Aiken County currently tests 1 st -9 th graders in math, reading and language usage during fall, winter and spring testing windows. * Tests are adaptive and correlated to SC standards. Current normative data is also available for all testing areas and all testing windows.
* Results are available 24 hours after tests are uploaded to NWEA. * Test results are reported in overall RIT scores (Rausch Units) for each testing area.
* Results are also reported in 10-point RIT ranges for goal strand areas * A Class by RIT Report provides a direct link to a SC standards-based DesCartes. * The DesCartes, or learning continuum, outlines the instructional level for students in a given goal strand RIT range.
* MAP testing results can be used to guide differentiated instruction (at all levels). * MAP testing results are stored in TestView, our data management system, allowing results to be easily compared and analyzed.
* Through Testview, we are able to create distribution reports to help us “ see ” strengths and weaknesses in language, reading, and math by school, grade level, and teacher.Testview
