MAP Testing

The NWEA National Norms provide context as to where your student is performing on the RIT scale. The RIT score helps illuminate what a student knows, is ready to learn, and is projected to achieve. The RIT scale is correlated with nationally normed mean grade level performance. A student’s percentile ranking shows you where the student fell nationally compared to students in the same grade level.

The projected RIT (estimate) helps us put growth into context, as well as set goals for the student. The great thing about the MAP and MPG is that it allows us to measure growth over time! For more information on students meeting the projected RIT scores you can reference the following NWEA blogs: (http://bit.ly/1KKJTxm, http://bit.ly/1KKKoaJ)

Please remember that MAP or MPG is just a snapshot of your student, and we use a variety of formative assessments to get a full and on-going picture of a student, and differentiate instruction for student growth.
