I Have MAP Data...Now What?
Understanding and Using the New NWEA Website
"Teachers who study their own effects on student learning are the most influential in raising student achievement (Hattie, 2009)."
Flipped MAP activity objectives
More information that's easier to find.
The new MAP website (https://teach.mapnwea.org) has more information to help teachers use map data in a manageable way. The following short, informational video, will show how an actual teacher can plug learning goals into a real lesson. You will learn to think "big picture" rather than getting caught up on the many individual skills your students need to work on.

Transitioning From the Old Map System to the New
The reports are different on the new site. How do I get reports to analyze?
It is easier to view data on the new site because previous reports have been combined into one easy to read report. You no longer have to run separate reports from different links on the website, and you can now easily see each subject broken down into low, low average, average, and even high designations. This will help you identify the subject and domain that your class needs the most work in. The following link illustrates the changes from the old system to the new.
Kahn Academy and NWEA Partner Up for Math
Kahn Academy is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping students learn. The partnership they have formed with NWEA has resulted in online activities for each math domain that are broken down by RIT band. What this means for teachers is efficient differentiation for individuals or small groups. The guess work is taken out of your planning and you can find confidence in knowing that you are teaching the skills that students need.
