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,…

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…

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…

Family Access to MAP Results
The process by which to share MAP results with families is miserable. The family report is not batch-exportable so until NWEA decides to prioritize this simple but critical aspect of the Family Report, the process remains a clerical and technical challenge.
I would strong advocate for NWEA to institute a system by which parents can enter their child's ID (provided and rostered by the school) and through this system, they can access their child's MAP report. This would remove the school as the "middle man" in the distribution of MAP reports and significantly ease the burden of schools in this…

Family Report
I print several Family Reports multiple times a year. Since batch printing Family Reports is not an option, can you please modify the interface?
Currently: once a report is printed, a button appears saying "Request Another Report." However, it does not work and you have to go all the way back to "Map Growth Reports" screen, scroll back down to to Family Reports and repeat the process.
It would be awesome if that button brought you right back to the Family Reports screen!4 votes -
Notify Users IN ADVANCE for Updated Maintenance Hours
Please notify your users IN ADVANCE for upcoming maintenance not only on the status page but also the connection page specifically for Maintenance Time: https://connection.nwea.org/s/system-maintenance-windows?language=en_US
It is not helpful at all inserting a not-in-time (have to refresh to check the latest update) log in notification for an upcoming maintenance time within several hours. It is very difficult for schools to reschedule everyone with the last-minute notice. Especially international schools that are not in the PDT time zone.
It is particularly not helpful if everyone will have to wait till the admin sees the notice and react to it. Please send…

Add a button that we can click to submit an issue with the website.
When getting kicked out of the test, and seeing an "error" message, or issue with the testing site. It would be nice to have a "report an issue" button that we can click. The status page takes a while to get updated and instead of having to sit on chat for over an hour just to say "hey, there's an issue. Did you know?" We could do something to make sure you knew - like click a button. Teachers are people of action - waiting around without any info about why we can't test, is very stressful. Especially when we…

accommodations
It would be helpful to have the ability for a testing administrator or testing coordinator to pull a report before testing has begun, but after sessions have been created, that shows which accommodations have been assigned to the students. This would allow administrators to confirm that the correct accommodations have been assigned to students before the test is given with the incorrect accommodations.

faster slow down sloth
Can the slow down sloth be set up within the MAP test to appear more quickly? We recognize this is a product change but are hoping it can be seriously considered.
Our team has noticed a critical feature of MAP NWEA is not quite what it could be. There is a "slow down sloth" that appears when students take the MAP test too quickly, randomly clicking through the answers. This was a feature we were excited about when we first moved to NWEA assessments.
The sloth is a great feature but is too slow to appear and misses many students…

The text size is too small. The test should be reformatted to fit the size of the computer screen.

Show battery percentage in Chromebook kiosk app
Once the Chromebook kiosk app launches, there isn't a way to check the battery percentage. If a student doesn't check before they launch and their battery is low (less than 10%), we run the risk of the Chromebook unceremoniously shutting down in the middle of a test. Please display the percentage discreetly somewhere on the screen so that we can avoid this in the future.

Custom Access Role
Customize a User Role
I am the District Admin and want my principals to be able to access operational reports, but do not want to make them the school assessment coordinator because I do not want them to be able to manage users.

Reports in Google Doc
It would be very helpful for my team if the Family Report could be exported as a Word File or Google Doc. We mailmerge reports like this out to our families and mailmerge their addresses into it so that they can be sent to the correct place, but this is much harder to do with a PDF file. Thanks for your consideration!

Accommodations
Hi! We have several students where we have a legal obligation to provide accommodations (IEPs) , such as paper based testing. It would be really helpful to have an accessible option available to print. This would allow all of our students access to participate in testing, and allow us to have solid data points for our students receiving services. At this time, some students are not able to engage with this format of testing.

Add Student Class Column and in the Test Session Filter
It would be helpful for a proctor managing multiple classes in one testing session to be able to identify which class the students are. Being able to accurately identify a class to suspend test, test again, and etc.

Longitudinal Reports
Could NWEA create a report to show longitudinal growth/achievement over 5 years at the district/campus/teacher level? It could look like the graph on the student profile. :)

Data for students tested outside district test windows
We would love for students who test outside the district testing window to be able to be included in reports. We have students who move in after our initial window who we need to assess due to state requirements. There could be an ** noting that the score was outside the window, but the information is still important.
