Embedded Dictionary
I would love it if there was an embedded dictionary. We have a standardized test in the state of Texas that has an embedded dictionary for all students and it would be wonderful if NWEA had one.

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.

Seeing if students have finished
It would be helpful if when teachers log into a test session it lists the students who have completed the testing as done.

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.

Screen Resolution
Please change the wording to avoid confusion from:
"Common fix, try: Ctrl+Shift+0 and Refresh"to
"Common fix, try: Ctrl+Shift+0 then Refresh"
I have students and teachers coming to me every testing season, and this could be avoided by changing one word.
It does not have to be exactly this, just something to convey the message that you don't press Refresh at the same time as Ctrl+Shift+0
And perhaps add in "(zero)", because I have students reading it as "O"

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…

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.

site
The main page should have the main things easier to get to, manage test sessions, individual student search, growth reports, etc. They are all needlessly hidden behind other links and clicks.

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.

Improve the user-friendliness of the test!
This test is very difficult to administer. Please make it easy for teachers by being able to assign the test once and being done. It is very difficult to have to keep confirming kids. The kids often get kicked out and you have to check them and give them a different status and then confirm them again, so I can't go on to other tasks that I have to do - I am constantly having to monitor whether my kids have access to this darn test. The administration of it is not user-friendly at all!

class/grade
In the student report, I can click on "Literary Text" and see skills ("analyze point of view" or "analyze characterization" for example) the individual student is ready to develop versus those that need reinforcement or development. I'd like to see something similar in class reports, grade level reports, and district level reports, disaggregated reading skills data from rather than just the RIT scores in Literary Texts, Informational Texts, and Vocabulary.
This report would be helpful for teachers to see where their class' overall weaknesses are, for grade level PLC teams, and for coaches and specialists. To get this kind of…

Bring back Class Report
To print the new Class Profile uses so much paper, please bring back the condensed Class Report. Downloading to .CVC file is too hard to read when there used to be a perfectly good readable report.

Data Report
A report that showed the students percentile of each "topic" tested within the assessment.
For ex: on the k-12 Science test- we want to see how our students did (%) on Earth and Space. This way, we can pull the lowest 20% in a small group. This may be a different group of students with the "Life" science topic of the test. So we would pull another group.3 votes -

Progress monitoring option
It would be nice for our intervention teachers to have an option to progress monitor students on individualized learning plans to ensure students are making adequate progress towards their goals. This may be an option through additional paid platforms, but we only have access to MAPS Growth for the time being.
