MAP Oral Reading Fluency
The recording of the MAP Reading Fluency oral passages have been extremely sensitive but also very inconsistent. Even if my whole class is quiet, it sometimes leads to a No Score i.e. a retest. It is very unrealistic to a classroom setting and very stressful on the children trying to stay quiet during a time that is supposed to be small group or station time. Is there any setting or trick to help avoid No Scores, despite a completely silent environment and a microphone attached to headphones?

Touchscreen workaround
Our district recently purchased touchscreen chromebooks for all TK-2 students. While administering the NWEA MAP Early Skills Screener, I noticed that our 4 and 5 year old students are required to "drag and drop" in order to answer questions. This was impossible for most of them and they simply were not able to test without an adult operating the trackpad for them.
In chatting with a support rep, I was told that touchscreen chromebooks are not supported. I can't imagine that we are the only district using these, but I would like to suggest a simple fix: On the ipads,…

Progress Monitoring Frustrations
The idea of having students read using a mic for fluency progress monitoring is a novel idea. However, the practical side is not exactly working for many of our special education students and teachers. We are only looking for them to read for one minute for progress monitoring. Due to the system, they have to read the entire passage, with the comp questions, which ends up with a slew of issues and problems. Many students are timing out due to the length. We are seeing behaviors rise due to the frustrations of the length. Teachers frustration has risen drastically due…

School Proctor and MAP Reading Fluency
As a "School Proctor" I should be able to proctor MAP Reading Fluency to any students at my school just like I can proctor other MAP Growth Tests to any students. Since I am not a homeroom teacher, I am not able to proctor MAP Reading Fluency tests and yet I am one of our school's learning support specialists. Because I don't have a class assigned to me, I cannot administer the MAP Reading Fluency Test. I think NWEA should give the same proctoring permissions for ALL tests (Growth and Reading Fluency) with the "School Proctor" permission. This is very…

Oral reading directions
When given a passage on the adaptive oral reading test, students are not given the directions to read it aloud. They are simply told "next I will show you a passage. Do your best reading.". Many of my students read it silently resulting in no score for oral reading rate or accuracy. I suggest the directions be changed to tell the user to read the passage out loud.

Gray out green button
On the benchmarks, please gray out the DONE button until a minute or so has passed. Students want to hit it and we end up redoing tests.

Password reset
There should be some way that the password that was created works immediately. It is very frustrating to know what the student's password is, and it not work.

sounds
On the part where the kids are listening for a sound and having to choose the letters or put letters in a box, it might be helpful if they have a mouth saying it so they can differentiate the sounds by using the mouth. This will help our speech kids.
