Universal Assessments
NWEA-Map: A computerized test called NWEA-Map is administered by a testing proctor every fall and spring (winter is optional). The assessment is adaptive, meaning that each student receives a unique test of about 52 questions, built around the the student's answers. For example, if a child answers a question correctly, the computer will give the child a more difficult question. If a child answers a question incorrectly, the computer will give the child an easier question. The computer assigns the child a RIT score based on the level where the child answered 50% of the question right and 50% wrong.
