 NWEA MAP Online Assessments  

 The NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) are computerized adaptive assessment programs that provide teachers, students, and parents with an accurate assessment of students’ progress in mastering basic skills.   

 When administered at regular intervals over time, it is possible to find out whether an individual student, or an entire grade level, is making satisfactory progress in basic skills. Teachers can use the assessment results for instructional planning for individual students or an entire class.
