Testing Accommodations Attached to Student Record
Currently a student's testing accommodations have to be entered for each testing session. Accommodations also have to be re-entered within the same testing session if the student is assigned one test, (say the reading test), finishes the test, and then is assigned a different test (the Math test). We have so many students with accommodations in our system that it is easy to miss assigning their accommodations because we have to do and redo it so many times.
The desired system would allow an admin or SpEd staff (or anyone) to go into the system and assign accommodations directly to…

Let School Coordinators View All Testing Progress in Real Time
Currently, only proctors monitoring active test sessions can see students' progress during the tests. It would be really helpful if school coordinators could directly access and view students' progress in all active sessions without having to rely on each proctor to provide updates or download testing progress files. This would greatly simplify test management and reduce the burden on proctors, especially when monitoring multiple students. Thanks!

24 hour wait time-end it
Please end the 24-hour wait and make results available instantly. Other companies have this as standard. Ready when a student finishes.
Please also look into the design of your website. It is hardly user-friendly and clunky to navigate and easy to get lost in.
How it's organized feels more like a software engineer designed it versus a teacher with experience and a web designer. It could use a redesign from the ground up.

Conversion/Reference Sheet Tool
Students should have access to a conversion/reference sheet for formulas and measurements that is accessible on the toolbar throughout the test.

To allow text to speech as an accommodation for K-2.
We have 1st and 2nd grade dyslexia students that need the entire test read aloud. It would make it better to have the computer read it instead of a human so it would not distract others.

kindergarten answer boxes on math map
Kindergarten students may answer a math computation problem and when they have to tap and touch the number into the answer spot, it taps into the wrong place value column because the answer box is divided into ones and tens. Kindergarten is still in the early stages of understanding place value and should not have that count against them, as the main goal is that they understood the operation. The answer box should be developed with that in mind.

Progress Monitoring
We would love to see NWEA MAP create a true progress monitoring tool that can be used between the benchmark testing windows. A shorter assessment that will report RIT, PR, and ROI - all within the same platform - would be outstanding. This would support additional data gathering for students receiving supports: MTSS/RTI, IEP, and EL.

have accommodations attach to students all terms- academic school year
Can we have a feature to keep student accommodations for the school year? TIDE (state testing) and other platforms have this feature.
Adding accommodations each BOY,MOY and EOY to 4 tests per 3 grade levels, 3 times a year is tedious and time consuming.
6th- 4 tests, 7th- 4 tests, 8th grade 4 tests
4 x 3 = 12 tests
12 tests x BOY, MOY, EOY = 36 tests total
36 tests total x 400 students with accommodations= 14, 400 times of accommodations inputted
Also, can the Reading and Language test be combined?

Math Tests Read ALOUD
I believe it completely negates the validity of the math MAP test when students at grades 3+ are responsible for reading the math test. As a third grade teacher, I have plenty of students in my class who unfortunately score very low on the math MAP test due to poor reading skills. If we are testing their mathematical ability, we should not be requiring them to read.
Further, this renders their reports virtually useless because I do not know what was missed due to a mathematical misunderstanding or what was answered incorrectly simply because the child did not know how…

Include Grade Levels on Test Sessions
Since accommodations can only be assigned to multiple students who are in the same grade level, the addition of grade on the Test Session screen would save a lot of time when trying to assign accommodations to multiple students at once.

test taking tips for parents
It would be helpful to have a PDF of how parents can help their child prepare for the NWEA MAP tests. This would help build motivation through students and encourage their families to take part in their learning.

When students time out...
When students time out, their names are no longer in the class list to log back in. The proctor must suspend them and then set them to "test again" after which they have to reboot and then log in again. THIS IS a software bug. The work around I have described is "solving" something that the developers should fix. Student names can be repopulated if the software is changed. Every teacher in every school encounters this problem and has for the past 17 years I have administered this test.

Improve Accessibility Features
Improve accessibility features for students with visual impairments. The built in magnification tool does not adequately or efficiently zoom in at this time. The test also does not work seamlessly with a Chromebook's built in accessibility features, such as the magnification feature.

Save and Delete Buttons
When ending a test session, please make the Save and Exit button and Delete Session button different colors!! They are the same color and size and it's only a matter of time before someone deletes a session by accident.

Admin
Admin accounts should be able to join a testing session currently in progress in order to help remotely troubleshoot an issue a teacher is having or view the session's password and Proctor PIN.

File upload option for creating test sessions
Is it possible to have a file upload option? We're not able to use homeroom rosters or class periods in MAP, but if I could upload a file with class rosters we created that would be awesome.

Kinder
The format for Kindergarten MAP can be challenging for early learners' attention span, directions need to be clear and consistent by the program. There are way too many buttons to be pressing in all sorts of order, that the students do not understand. Simplify to get better results and true data.

Upload file for accommodations
Campus or district staff needs to be able to upload a file for accommodations to verify that the correct accommodations are given to the students. If this cannot happen, admin needs to be able to verify what accommodations are assigned by proctors before testing. Currently, we cannot see that information until the student has already tested. Then, it is too late to correct without retesting students.
