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…

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…

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Multiple Languages for Tests
Would be nice if it was possible to have the tests in other languages besides spanish as there are more students coming in with different languages at lower grades and even higher grades.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Allow ESTIMATED scores for kids taking 2+hours on the Reading Growth test
Some students are taking an incredibly long time on the Reading Growth test. They are carefully reading all the questions, getting them right, and then getting an even longer passage. They are taking up to 3 hours to finish the test. We can't test them for that long, but we also don't want them to just lose all their hard work if we stop before they get a score. Can you PLEASE offer the option at admin discretion to just get an estimated score after a certain amount of time spent on the test???

Create a new tile for "Manage Testing Sessions" for all users
Create a new tile for "Manage Testing Sessions" for all users. This particular tile is beneficial to all users and it will be an easy access for "newbies" having trouble finding the "Manage Testing Sessions" to create, edit, and find saved testing sessions.

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.

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.

SPANISH NEEDS
We purchased the assessment to use K-12 and were promised secondary course-specific assessments in Spanish, and now that we are giving the assessment, the Spanish does not exist. How do we provide the assessment to our Spanish language students? Or students who speak other languages? This is inequitable!
