Please use Status Page for Outages
If you are having an outage, could you please update your status page: https://status.nwea.org
This would alleviate spending time on the phone to get an update that could have been posted. I was asked to enter this into this portal by the customer service rep who confirmed you were having an issue, but didn't know why the status page wasn't updated. Thank you.

Family Report
I print several Family Reports multiple times a year. Since batch printing Family Reports is not an option, can you please modify the interface?
Currently: once a report is printed, a button appears saying "Request Another Report." However, it does not work and you have to go all the way back to "Map Growth Reports" screen, scroll back down to to Family Reports and repeat the process.
It would be awesome if that button brought you right back to the Family Reports screen!1 vote -
Highlight tracking
When text is read aloud at K-2, it would be helpful to have the words highlight as it is read aloud to support tracking, especially for longer assessments

Update the app
The app is outdated in comparison to all the educational apps we have on the IPADS these days. We have had so many issues with students not being able to slide words or numbers, but click to get the dots in order to move. It needs to be updated. It's not user friendly, we actually had a student who had to click down to get the right answer, move words to match in the click down and way too many steps. Gotta find a better way.

Automated Report Services Update
We use the NWEA Web-based MAP Automated Report Services to retrieve data export files and recently moved the scripts to a new linux server. We had some difficulty getting these scripts to run; I think adding some additional instructions may help.
The first issue was retrieving the required Perl packages via the cpanm utility, per the recommendation on https://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html. That approach yields a failure during the building and testing step for the package WWW:Curl::Easy. To work around this, we used the system package manager to install the curl related dependencies for retrieve_dex.pl:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install perl-WWW-Curl…

Notify Users IN ADVANCE for Updated Maintenance Hours
Please notify your users IN ADVANCE for upcoming maintenance not only on the status page but also the connection page specifically for Maintenance Time: https://connection.nwea.org/s/system-maintenance-windows?language=en_US
It is not helpful at all inserting a not-in-time (have to refresh to check the latest update) log in notification for an upcoming maintenance time within several hours. It is very difficult for schools to reschedule everyone with the last-minute notice. Especially international schools that are not in the PDT time zone.
It is particularly not helpful if everyone will have to wait till the admin sees the notice and react to it. Please send…

Client Notification When System is Down
MAP should PROACTIVELY post a message on their website and/or send immediate communication to their stakeholders when they're experiencing internal issues, i.e. today's server issue, RATHER THAN waiting for stakeholders to contact them, wait on the phone for hours of time, to find out what the issue is. Today's server error was INCREDIBLY disruptive to our EOY testing schedule and school community. The communication from MAP was not there and could have mitigated many of these frustrations.

Notification when System is Down
Rather than not answering your phone or chat when there is a known testing issue, why don't you post a message on the website. Better yet, you could email local administrators. I had better things to do today than be on hold for 30+ minutes. PS I never received a call back, as promised multiple times.

Add a button that we can click to submit an issue with the website.
When getting kicked out of the test, and seeing an "error" message, or issue with the testing site. It would be nice to have a "report an issue" button that we can click. The status page takes a while to get updated and instead of having to sit on chat for over an hour just to say "hey, there's an issue. Did you know?" We could do something to make sure you knew - like click a button. Teachers are people of action - waiting around without any info about why we can't test, is very stressful. Especially when we…

field questions to build confidence
To help build student confidence the test starts out with 2-3 easy (on grade-level or below) field questions. These questions do not have to count towards the test score. I have given this assessment several times and on the first or second question, I have students crying defeated because the question is so hard.

Test Coordinators need to create and assign test sessions to proctors
It is too much detail and work for teachers to create test sessions and assign the right tests, etc. It is actually quite difficult to get some teachers to create test sessions with the correct students, accomodations and tests, and leaves a lot of room for error. Test Coordinators need to be able to create test sessions and assign them straight to proctors so they see it as a saved session with they login to their proctor account. Please enable this feature.

Testing Coordinators need to set accommodations
Test Coordinators need to be able to set accomodations for each student in learning support. It is really difficult that teachers (proctors) have to set accommodations, and leave a lot of room for error. Some of our students are not receiving the accommodations they are entitled to, because teachers simply forget to assign them. This should be rectified- admin should be able to set accommodations that STICK with the student in any test session, for each subject according to their learning support plan. It is too much detail and labor for teachers to do so.

Terminating a Test should be admin only
Proctors should not be able to administer a test. I have had multiple proctors terminate multiple tests because a student thinks they are not done with a test (forgot they finished with a different teacher a different day), and the teacher gets flustered and terminates the test, thinking they can reset it so the student can be assigned a new test. Please make it much more difficult to terminate a test so this is not accidentally done. Thanks!

Testing Coordinator Dashboard
Testing Coordinators and admin NEED a testing dashboard that shows all classes, all proctors, all students, all tests, all progress, all accommodations set, all terminated sessions, all rapid guessing, all completed tests for a specific testing season.
It is imperative this is developed. It is so difficult to manage a school of testing, when there is no easy way to see how students are progressing. We have to rely on a spreadsheet teachers update, but they often forget to update, and it is very difficult to figure out with many students, many sessions going, and it creates delays (24 hours,…2 votes -
accommodations
It would be helpful to have the ability for a testing administrator or testing coordinator to pull a report before testing has begun, but after sessions have been created, that shows which accommodations have been assigned to the students. This would allow administrators to confirm that the correct accommodations have been assigned to students before the test is given with the incorrect accommodations.

Creating reports specific to a testing/data coordinator
As Dean of Students, I review all grades testing information. I would love to have a report, similar to class profile, but that is geared towards a testing/data coordinator looking at all grade levels together. Specifically I would like to have the "Student grouped by RIT Band" be available for having the choice to check off multiple grade levels. I have been reviewing RIT Bands across grades and would like to have a report that creates all students K-6 by rit band. Ideally the report would allow me to check of grade levels or classes or an all option. The…

Multiple disruptions of service! During the last 4 years of 3X/year administration, multiple times we've tried to launch built test sessions and the NWEA site has been unresponsive. Worse, frantic calls to NWEA tech support go unanswered. Very stressful and disheartening.

Please make available in the profile report (school especially) previous years to match term tested and term rostered. Term rostered 21-22.
Please make available in the profile report (school especially) previous years to match the term tested and term rostered. Term rostered can only go back to the 23-24 school year. I need it to go back to the 21-22 and 22-23 school year.
