This may be most helpful for students with test anxiety so they feel more prepared, or with new students.]]> 2020-02-11 16:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443787629 Parent Toolkit aliciah2 https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443788569 Answers questions such as "What is a RIT score?" and "Can MAP Growth tell me if my student is working at grade level?"
Also includes a short video for parents.]]> 2020-02-11 16:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443788569 Teach. Learn.

For students who scored within a given range, you can enhance their instruction by reinforcing these words.]]> 2020-02-11 16:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443801253 Learning Continuum aliciah2 https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443803905 To Access The Learning Continuum:
1. Login to NWEA
2. Click on MAP Growth Reports
3. Scroll down and select "Learning Continuum"
4. Select your test term
I like to go into "edit display options" and choose "group by standard"]]> 2020-02-11 16:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/443803905 Comparative Data aliciah2 https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/444465460 This chart shows mean RIT scores]]> 2020-02-12 16:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/444465460 Average Test Duration aliciah2 https://padlet.com/aliciah2/bwelxyj411pn/wish/444467705 These charts show the average length of time students take to complete growth tests.

I've copied and pasted one section below which I found interesting. It explains that only about 50% of students are expected to meet the projected growth (the number that NWEA automatically inputs on the goal setting page). It is pasted below:

By default, growth is set to the Projected Growth, if available. This growth projection is personalized to your student, because it is based on matching peers from NWEA norms (same prior RIT score, grade, and weeks of instruction between testing). 
  • Using matching peers provides a fair comparison, because students with high starting achievement generally do not grow as much as students with low achievement. 
  • Projected Growth is the midpoint for these peers (half grew more and half grew less).
