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.

Allow students to Listen to answers without it selecting that choice
I have noticed that younger learners with the Read Aloud option have a hard time understanding that they need to go back and and pick an answer. They either listen to the first choice - see that the button popped up and assume they got it right and move on. OR they listen to all 4 choices - answer in their head - and move on leaving the last answer selected.
If the listen button could be unlinked from the multiple choice answers that would really help us get better data.

Total testing time should be the same for all
My daughter (3rd grade) recently gave me feedback about why she doesn't look forward to these tests and I found it important to consider. When she sees her peers finishing the test before her she gets antsy to finish so she can read, draw, or do something else silently at her desk until all of her classmates are finished. The standardized way a test is administered is as important, if not more important, than the actual test questions and results. My daughter thought she was less knowledgeable and slower than the other students because she was taking longer to finish…

clever sync
Maintain the Term Rostering for students who have test events, even if they unenroll before the end of the testing window.
Now, if a student is removed from the Clever roster, the entire enrollment term in progress is removed for that student. This happens regardless of whether the student has test events in the window or when in the window they exited the school. That means meaningful test data is excluded from class reports and school profile reports.

Correct Typo in Proctor Guide ie. Do Not Confirm
Page 13 of the Proctor Guide https://teach.mapnwea.org/impl/ProctorGuide.pdf states that selecting "Do Not Confirm: Terminates the original test and restricts the student from taking the test again this term." This is not accurate. My teachers are confused enough as it is with all the different menu options - please maintain accurate documentation to support your users!

Download of standards below student's grade
A downloadable report which lists each student who missed standards below their current grade. For example, a child is in 6th grade, but failed to answer standards from 3rd and 4th grade. The download would consist of the student's name and grade as well as those standards - could be listed by MN Standard's codes - they missed. IXL builds a plan for the student, but that plan is based on their RIT. I need to know the standards they missed which were much lower than the overall RIT.

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.

Reports and Checkboxes
It is difficult to pull one report at time when looking at a specific teacher's data. We would like a drop down list of teachers that we can check to filter the teachers' names we want to see data for. For example, teachers have 3 blocks listed in the class profile.

Instructors Login Session Details
Dear NWEA Team,
I would like to know how I can find out my Instructors Login Session details(Date\Time) into their MAP accounts.
Being the School MAP Administrator, using the dashboard I would like to see my teachers using their accounts to generate/view reports of their respective students\class.
Which I have checked with your Chat support, and they have acknowledge that this is a great idea, which doesn't exist in the current MAP system.
Hope to have this incorporated, in order to have administrator manage these tasks.

Growth Data on the Class Profile Report

It is essential that assessment design aligns with evidence-based instructional practices. When there is a disconnect between how students are taught and how they are assessed, the validity and reliability of the resulting data are compromised (American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education, 2014).
In classroom instruction, students are explicitly taught research-supported strategies such as previewing questions to establish purpose and flagging items to revisit. These practices are grounded in cognitive science. Research demonstrates that reducing cognitive load improves performance and accuracy (John Sweller, 1988), while metacognitive strategies such as self-monitoring and revisiting…1 vote -
Allow for the option to change text to speech voice
Allow for the option to change the voice for text to speech accommodations. The voice doesn't not accurately read the text, and will say /red/ when we would want /reed/ for the word read. It will also change long and short vowel sounds so that students are unable to understand what is being read to them.

Enable TTS on Graphics and Images
Students who need TTS for all content should be able to use the embedded TTS feature within MAP - they should not have to learn to use a new tool like a screen reader just to access text in images and graphics. Screen readers will also read navigation buttons and other text on the screen that is not a part of the test item potentially creating confusion and adding cognitive load.
Please build images and graphics for test items that can be read aloud by the embedded TTS within MAP.

Please add Spanish Lexile levels!
Please add the Lexile levels so that my teachers do not need another tool or time-consuming assessment. I realize there is some debate as to the accuracy of the Lexile levels in Spanish, but starting anywhere would be helpful and more equitable.

Start on higher level of the test
Here is the thing, often times student may have a extremely high understanding of the topic, and starting off low is simply troublesome since you would ever reach your full potential, if you are unlucky enough to be paired with bugged system that won't allow you to get one step near the next RIT range. If we start hard first, then its easier to determine the students' full potential, rather than the base of their knowledge.

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,…

Provide instant feedback on practice tests.
Currently, students can take a practice test, but the correct answer is not provided. Provide the correct answer after each question and explain the answer.

Ending the test is tricky.
At the end of the 2-5 elementary test, the students do not always click the final blue button. Then their data is lost in space and if it is not logged into later to click the final blue button, the data can disappear. The issue comes with using Chromebooks, and the screen does not display the final blue button and the student would have to scroll down to see it. This is often overlooked, especially in 2nd grade, because the year before they saw a cute puppy dog that said "great job". Can this button be removed and the "great…

Update Race Codes
Our state (Maryland) requires reporting with the 2 new race codes be used for the 2026-2027 school year. The two changes made in 2024 at the Federal level include a Middle Eastern/Northern African category and making Hispanic a race and not a separate ethnicity with a race. Please update NWEA MAP to enable ingestion and reporting to include these new codes.
