ASG Quadrant Chart for Division Profile
After each testing session we are manually creating quadrant charts that maps where each school in the division falls on the quadrant. The special report only shows one marker overall for ELA and one for Math. We need to show the quadrant charts overall by school and also for our subgroups (Gifted, Students with an IEP, and ELL).

Text-to-speech questions in isolation from passage
Text-to-speech passages should give options to just read the question if the passage has multiple questions. As of right now, it reads the story all over again each time and some scholars get frustrated with that.

screen resolution issue NWEA app for Windows
When using the app on desktops in the school, it works fine and I don't have to change the screen resolution.
When I try to use the NWEA app on laptops, it still states I have to change the screen resolution. This is very tedious as this is a large school and I have to do this for over 900 laptops every time we are doing this testing.I have figured out that to make it work I would have to change the "scale" from the default 150% on the laptops to either 125% or 100%. But this still does…

Use human reader voices for the read aloud.
Please use human readers for the story passages. The computerized voice runs over punctuation, mashes words together, and puts unnatural breaks in sentences. For example it sounds like: "Where are we going?"........."asked John he sat"........"down in his chair."
Students who can read to themselves have the advantage of "hearing" the story read fluently, which aids their comprehension. Students who actually NEED the read aloud have to listen to it read dysfluently, and that's so unnecessary and unfair. I've had students with IEPs take their headphones off and say they would rather wing it than hear the "annoying" robot voice. There's…

K-2 Screening and Skills Checklist Reports
There is currently no way to export/batch all of the data from the K-2 Screening tests in csv or xls. The existing report only lets you export as PDF. The class report doesn't fit on one page and doesn't let you change the formating to fit on one page. The by student report has to be done one at a time for each test and each student. Please add a batch option for individual reports or add these tests to the options for batch print in family reports

Allow clickable word definitions that might hinder a students understanding of a standard based question or answer
Many of the problems students have with the questions are: they don’t know what a word means within that question or answer choice. The standard being measured does not include their knowledge of those words. Have the ability to click a word they don’t know to have the meaning pop up.

Remove projections for grades 1 and 2
On the family reports, suggestion to remove the projections from family reports for students in grades 1 and 2. These grades do not participate in Virginia Standards of Learning.

Family Report Defaults
Can administrators have the capability to alter what is checked by default in the Family Report? If I could change the defaults, it would prevent our teachers from sending out reports that have extraneous information like SAT/ACT/EOG if we don't want that info sent out for our youngest students.

When students are taking their time and writing notes it often kicks them out and they have to start over on a new passage.
When students are taking their time and writing notes it often kicks them out and they have to start over on a new passage. Maybe have a button they can press that freezes the screen or test so it doesn’t think they are inactive?

Immediate Invalid data notification
Most campuses want to test students who show Invalid data right away. The District users are the ones who need also see that for the student. Right now, as soon as the student receives this notice, there is not a way for the district person to see it in order to reset it. We call to validate. Please change the student's status from completed to invalid right away.

User Friendly data on Learning Continuum
Gathering data from the learning continuum report is very combersome and overwhelming. We previously used STAR and they had a report with all of the grade level standards- each student score was color coded in accordance with their proficiency on each standard. If they were above grade level on that standard- they were blue, on grade level- they were green, slightly below was yellow, and far below was red. It made it very easy to see which standards I need to focus on.
This learning continuum reprt, I have to look at the report, then look at each student to…1 vote -
Add an alert on the proctor console to show the test is invalid once it's completed
It would be helpful if you could add an alert on the proctor console to show the test is invalid once it's completed, especially in cases where the test doesn't meet the minimum test duration requirements.

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.

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!

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.

AK Star
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 -
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.
