How to reduce language bias
This instrument over-identified our ELL students because on multiple portions of the assessment they had to click every picture to find out what it was before selecting their answer. Our non-ELL students could rapidly identify the pictures and therefore selected more correct answers within the time limit. One way this language bias could be reduced would be to extend the time limit a bit and have every user listen to the computer identifying all the pictures. Without an alteration such as this, MAP Reading Fluency has limited usefulness with ELL students.

Timed recording
Sometimes students are pausing during the reading....to fix headphones, coughing, etc and it is throwing their time off. I wish there was a button when hand scoring to pause their time. A few seconds doesn't tend to make a big difference, but sometimes it ends up being about 30 seconds and then flagging the student.

Taking one subtest Over
Under MAP Reading Fluency, students should be able to redo one of the sections instead of having to take the whole test again. We have students that are a no score on RAN, and we just need that part assessed again, not the whole test.

Name each picture
On the MAP fluency PA and phonics assessments, please have the computer identify each picture the student is to choose from (or let them click on each picture to hear what the picture is like in the MAP assessment). For English language learners, they can decode words but their limited vocabulary means they don't know the picture that matches.

goal on graph
progress monitoring graphs should include a trend line and a goal so that graphs can be read by parents and they can easily see progress towards a goal.

Progress Monitoring-
If assigned multiple areas to progress monitor, all areas should be sent to students when they log in. Students should not have to log in multiple times to access each progress monitoring tool.

No voice after phoneme manipulation prompts
For a few sections, the voice giving directions interrupts the student's thinking. One of the most noticeable places is in the phoneme manipulation section. For example, they will say, "Flame, change the /l/ in flame to /r/." Then the voice will say something like, "Choose the picture," and interrupt the child's thinking on this comparatively more difficult task. This is too much for working memory, I had trouble myself. The directions (if needed at all there) should only be before the prompt.

Missouri MAP Reading Fluency and Dyslexia Dates---PLEASE ADJUST TESTING WINDOW TO BETTER FIT SCHOOLS SCHEDULES
MAP Fluency and MAP Dyslexia Screener are both Missouri approved RSP vendors. The issue I am coming across is the testing windows that NWEA has set up does not match the timeline of the testing window that DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) for the state of Missouri. NWEA MAP Fluency Dates are as followed:
Fall: June-November 30
Winter: December 1-February 28 (Feb 29 on leap years)
Spring: March 1-JuneMissouri Guidelines of when we are REQUIRED to administer the MAP Fluency and Dyslexia Screener are the following:
Fall: grades 1-3 first 30 calendar days of school
Winter:grade K…2 votes -
I would love to see the dates students take a monitoring progress right next to their names. It could be very useful to see this report ass
I would like to see a class report with the dates students take a monitor progress. This could help teachers spot students that need to have make-ups right away.
There is currently a report, but we need to look into individual students.2 votes -
Re-do
There are some exercises that students cannot re-do once they click on an answer and realize they made a mistake. Allow for students to change their answer on all or most exercises

Foundational Skills Tables
Move the Foundational Skills Tables directly under the ZPD Levels (it was previously like this). At some point within the last few months the order changed and it’s now: ZPD Levels, Sentence Reading Fluency, Foundational Skills Tables

Student Videos
Create a Spanish version of the student experience videos (MAP Growth and MRF) – this will help the parents of our bilingual students have access to videos in their native language.

Interpretive Tables
Previously, the Foundational Skills Table was located directly under the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) Levels. In the last few months, Sentence Reading Fluency Performance Levels/Grade-Level Expectations was put in between the two.
I would like to see the order as: ZPD Levels, Foundational Skills Table, Sentence Reading Fluency Performance Levels.2 votes -
When looking at the "modify preference" tab, there is no indicator that these changes can only be made to MAP Growth.
When looking at the "Modify Preferences" tab, there is no indicator that the modifications being made are only being made to MAP Growth. As a school, we wanted to determine testing dates for MAP Fluency and thought we could create our own testing dates. Even in the instructions, there is no mention of MAP Growth vs. MAP Fluency. This would have been exceedingly helpful as we began testing during "our window" and fluency scores weren't available for our "Winter Term" as the default window had not yet begun.

Passwords
Currently, 4 asterisks are used BOTH when passwords have not been set and when passwords have been save, but are hidden.
I would suggest that **** only be used if passwords have not been set.
Once they have been changed, it could say "hidden password."As a user, I thought that passwords were not being changed and saved.
