With the introduction of a new universal screener, the following message has been prepared for distribution to families through campus communication structures before the first administration window. Additionally, please encourage classroom teachers responsible for administering NWEA MAP assessments to share this information through their communication channels.
Beginning this year, students in Fort Bend ISD will complete NWEA MAP computer-adaptive assessments three times a year to gain information about what students know and what they are ready to learn next. MAP also gives insight into how students are growing academically, allowing you to track your student's progress throughout the school year and across multiple years. Families will have access to their child's results after each testing window. NWEA MAP is replacing Renaissance 360. For more information, visit the NWEA Family Toolkit linked here or click the button below.
