Test results emailed to parents from NWEA.
Is there a way to send out test results directly from NWEA. ILEARN has this option as a family access page and they just log in and are able to see results. This would save paper and man power for the teachers or office staff

Remove Final "Wagging Dog" Page from Growth K-2 Test
We've noticed an issue with the Growth K-2 test. A lot of students think they’re done, but their status shows as “suspended.” They often forget to click the “Next” button when they get to the final reward or wagging dog page, which means the test doesn’t actually finish. As a result, their scores don’t show up in the report.
This makes it hard to tell who’s actually finished the test and who hasn’t, since we can’t tell if they just missed the "Next" button or didn't complete the exam. The page seems unnecessary and just adds confusion. Removing it would…

Allow accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels
Allowing accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels would be really helpful to our HS campuses. Courses often have multiple grade levels and when adding accommodations to multiple students at once, they cannot see the grade levels.

Improve text-to-speech
The text to speech pronounces environment incorrectly, as it pronounces the second 'n'. Also, it pronounces 20,000 as "20, zero zero zero". You could make the program run a check for whether the text says 3 numbers after a comma, or if there's just a space and 2 other characters. (Idea submitted by a student.)

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.

The graph on the student report page is NO LONGER ACCURATE!!
I was just informed that the norms were updated this summer. However, the student report page has changed all previous windows to reflect the new norms. THIS IS NOT ACCURATE OR CORRECT. The percentiles are no longer accurate and the graph CANNOT be used to interpret the data. For example, a 157 for 1st grade for spring of 2025 was in the 15th percentile when the test was given. Now, it shows that the percentile is the 24th percentile. This makes the score within the average range while the 15th percentile is outside of it. This is a very large…

We should encourage students to lightly prepare for it, or let them know it's okay to study.

Allow growth percentiles to appear when hovering over past RIT scores on individual performance plots.
At present, both achievement and growth percentiles are reported for the most recent score, but only prior achievement percentiles appear when hovering over previous data points on the individual student performance graph for a subject. student growth percentiles should also pop up because relative growth at different times can be a crucial diagnostic.

Keep the Learning Continuum.
Like many of my colleagues, I used the learning continuum to plan for whole and small group instruction. This valuable tool helped us try to avoid the swiss cheese learning we all dread in education. Without the ease of use of the former learning continuum trying to cross reference student scores and scroll through categories by topic or standard is punishing, arduous and nearly impossible. What you are currently offering as your substitute for the learning continuum is not helpful. It is frustrating. You have essentially stripped away the most valuable facet of the data you provided.

Universal Enabling for Text-to-Speech
It would be great to have the ability to turn on the text-to-speech accommodation (and select from the current configuration options for text-to-speech) for all schools/sessions/students. As some state assessments move to offering text-to-speech as a universal accommodation, it would be helpful to be able to standardize this for MAP Growth as well. Asking individual proctors to turn on the accommodation leaves room for people to forget and leads to an inconsistent testing experience for students. Having a district/schoolwide option would be very helpful.

Reinstate the NPR on the Student Profile Report
I can no longer see the NPR on the Student Profile Report. Previously, on this report, when you would click on an historical test on the graph, you could see the NPR information for that test. I see with an online search that “NWEA has refined its reporting over time to emphasize specific metrics that they believe are most helpful for informing instruction. By moving the percentile rank, they have shifted the focus of the student profile report to a growth-oriented view, rather than a normative comparison.” As a Coordinator of Gifted Services in Ohio, I can only identify a…

student profile
For MAP Growth tests, I want a file that lists all of the Learning Statements for each student after they have taken the assessment. Right now, I have to go into each individual student to pull up their Student Profile to find this information. I want it available as a district .csv so that I may extract the individual statements for specific groups of students.

Stacked English AND Spanish Math MAP Test (emergent bilingual students)
I love that the MAP Growth tests are offered in both English and Spanish. However, we are noticing a consistent issue in scores from newcomer students (those here between 1-3 years).
When they first come and take the test in Spanish, the scores are fairly accurate to what they are demonstrating in class. However, after that, all future learning is done primarily in English. If we continue testing in Spanish, they show minimal growth because they don't always know the vocabulary in their L1 (native language) and are unable to accurately demonstrate these new concepts on a Spanish test. Yet,…

Student Profile Reports clustered by score bands
Please indicate student percentile numbers on the drop down of student information. I'm not looking to create these profiles for all my students, but would like to pull them for thiose performing below or above expectations.

You need to have the ability to have two distinct windows within a term. We have one testing window for Elementary and Middle and another for the high schools. Since there is only one window, it is lengthy enough to encompass both. However, in order to get a Projected Proficiency report, student growth summary report, and the district summary report, the window has to be closed. If I close the window, then the high schools cannot test. If I close the window to generate reports, and then open it again for high schools to test, the reports are no longer…

Session name generation
The randomly generated session name included the word "edger" which is an inappropriate slang term. It caused some mayhem when I posted it as I had misread it as being "edgar" and didn't catch it in time. I recommend removing this word from the generation options to avoid this in the future.

school
When we upload a class roster file, it should permit the students to be in classes in more than one school without fiddling. We have students who are taking one or more classes at another school within our district, and when the roster file has more than one school for a student, the rostering process fails to assign the students to a school of record. We are having to manually move these students or upload multiple roster files to achieve something that should be basic in the rostering process.

desmos graphing calculator
For the Algebra 1, Geometry & Algebra 2 tests, I would like the Desmos graphing calculator to be available for students for all questions. This is how instruction is in the classroom, as well as what's available for all questions on the state end of year test. Please make this available for the MAP growth tests OR make it an accommodation we can turn on for our students since now even the SAT/ACT/AP exams have this built in as well.

Not Appropriate for Kindergarten
This format and layout are completely developmentally inappropriate for early childhood education students. I watched time and time again students who were attempting to answer questions correctly but couldn't because they were trying to drag images, words, or numbers. The idea of having to click it just the 'right way' so it is highlighted with a dotted box around it, and then click where to put it is insane. Further, when students were attempting to formulate sight words or sentences, some were trying to put them in order but because they weren't clicking on the exact correct spot on the…

Class Profile Report
Class Profile Report needs to show the biggest need to "reinforce", "develop", and "introduce". Showing that only on the student profile makes it difficult to help as many as possible. Including a grouping suggestion based on the highest needs would be a great help too.
