Benchmark Matrix Report add Student ID
Add Student ID to Benchmart Matrix report or, much better and already suggested in multiple places here (I tried to find and comment on all I saw but time is precious), create a Parent Report that has the student ID so that Districts/Schools can split it out per student and sent digitally via services like ParentSquare, SchoolMessenger, Bright Arrow, etc.

question about lexile ranges on ORF
In the Lexile Text Measure Range column when assigning oral reading prog mon, there is a ? that shows grade levels for each lexile range. There is no grade level shown for the 300-390L range. Under 300 is listed as up to 1st grade and then 400-490L is listed as 2nd grade. What grade level equivalency is the 300-390L range?

Instructional Recommendations Activity Library
It would be nice to have a library of all the instructional recommendations so that you can find additional activities and materials, as well as use them for older students who lack phonemic awareness skills.

ORF with Coach
ORF with Coach is a bit cumbersome for students to use. There is too much time down time between activities, students say it's not engaging enough, and it's not easy to access. The voice is too robotic.

Reports
Is it possible to see all three benchmarks in 1 report for a student instead of toggling between each testing session?

Accuracy
An idea would be to calculate the percentage for the sentence reading fluency so that teachers don't have do that themselves. The column should automatically tell you who needs to take the next test because teachers do not have time to do all this extra work.
Example: 20/22 - 90.1%
Example: 14/17 - DNQ (Does not qualify)2 votes -
Auto Assign
The auto assign feature for progress monitoring is very confusing for classroom teachers. It would be better if we just had to go in and assign the progress monitoring ourselves.

Class Progress Monitoring Report
I would love a Report that shows grade level and class progress monitoring scores at-a-glance. We are using PM data and have to go into each student's individual report to see if they have completed their progress monitoring for the week, or to see if homeroom teachers have been monitoring Tier II students. Thanks!

The term rollover and auto-assigning the next benchmark interrupts progress monitoring in our large district. Please turn this off!
You can rollover the new benchmark expectations without auto-assigning the tests on your end. Auto-assigning also isn't helpful when you don't do Adaptive Oral Reading in Kindergarten due to state-wide requirements to use dyslexia screener. Please let districts assign themselves!

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,…

Provide direction on the graphic novel for which direction the students should read (across to the next panel or down to the panel below)
On the first passage for the Adaptive Oral Fluency Passages Only, could the students get some direction on which way to go (across or down) for the graphic novels?

Report Printing
Instead of basically "print screen" for a report, there should be a PDF option that's more condensed (i.e. not so spaced that a class report is 5 pages long). Printing any is SO CUMBERSOME. For how many options and formats are available with MAP Growth, it's so disappointing Fluency's are so lacking.

Let teachers determine when they will log out of the program so we are not constantly logging back in
Let the user/teacher/admin determine the timeout/logout time. As a reading specialist, I look at scores frequently and have to log in 20+ times a day. It would be great if I could stay logged in.

English Language Learner expected growth
It would be great to have a table that projects expected EL growth in each domain for foundational skills to make sure they're making appropriate progress, even though they will continue to be below expectations.

Need Comprehension Questions Posted
I truly need to see the questions and answers in oral reading. When a student continues to get 5/6 wrong, it would be SO helpful to know what type of question it is AND how it is being asked to give better intentional teaching.

Reading Fluency Growth Chart
There is a chart in MAP Growth that shows each child's growth over the years of taking MAP assessments in Growth. (Think the chart you see on your retirement statements. Is the line going up, down, or staying steady.) It would be great to have the same feature in Reading Fluency so we can see each child's individual progress over the year.

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?

Change the program
I have watched several students make mistakes because the program doesn't pause and let students see their final response. There should be an enter button to make sure their answer is the one they want. It also just scrolls over answer choices too easily and students accidentally change their answers because the answer isn't "locked".

Progress Monitoring Report
The Progress Monitoring graph is very helpful; however, the Progress Monitoring Details are very limited and vague and should list more than the Domain score. I would like to know the ZPD level given for each Progress Monitoring test. This would be helpful and would help teachers better plan to close their instructional gaps.
