Shorten the MAP Growth Test
As an experienced teacher who has seen the MAP tests in action for several years, I feel that the test is too long for students. MAP-R especially requires a serious amount of reading stamina for 4th and 5th grade students. I saw that you measure growth in 3 areas on the test. I recommend that you shorten the test to 30 questions (10 questions in each area). This would be a better measure of students reading ability and comprehension because students wouldn't get as tired and just give up.

Assign text-to-speech automatically based on student IEP, 504 and ELL plans.
When setting up a test session, TTS should be automatically assigned to those students who have it as an identified need on an IEP, 504 or ELL plan. TTS should be connected to a student account and not a Test Session.

Progress and Growth filter for two consecutive testing sessions
In "School Profile" under "Growth and Achievement" it would be very useful to be able to compare 2 consecutive testing sessions. We have run across an issue with potential cheating and we cannot run a progress/growth report between Spring 2023 and Fall 2023.
We can run Fall to Fall, but then the growth numbers take into account several testing sessions and we cannot identify easily the students that only grew rapidly on this last testing session. It is possible to see a student growth of 30 points over a fall-to-fall period, but we are seeing that from spring to fall.…

ASG
If only the Quad report is going to be moved over to profile reports, the functionality of both the Quad AND the Projection/Summary reports need to be incorporated. Currently the Quad only displays definitive beg.-end. data, while the P/S version displays within academic year beg., but open end for projections. Teachers greatly rely on this information for the growth expectations/achievements overview of their classes, but at the individual student level, as well.

"Include students and subjects without test results in the selected term (Not Common)"
When you run Family Reports right now, the system lets you check or uncheck the option to: "Include students and subjects without test results in the selected term (Not Common)". Even when you leave this UNCHECKED, the system still pulls reports for students who did not test during the test term you selected.
I did reach out to Tech Support about this and they said the report function runs as intended, and that the wording is just confusing.
This wording needs to be changed, or the report needs to be updated to do what it says it does. There are…

Private School Norms
Be able to choose Private school Norms to show up in reports in addition to national norms. We are happy to be moving away from ERBs but that was a nice feature to use and families still want that information. I know we can look at the Achievement and Growth Tables for Private Schools but incorporating it into the reporting features would be much appreciated!

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!

Summer norms
Currently there are no Summer MAP norms which is why percentiles don't populate on the student profile for tests taken during the Summer term. This has been a source of contention/confusion as we often test new students over the Summer in preparation for them starting with us in the Fall.
Our suggestion is that MAP includes a toggle to allow users to generate percentiles using norms from a different term (so allowing us to generate percentiles from Spring norms to populate on a Summer student profile).

MAP Growth Family Batch Reporting
In the new Batch Print for Family Report (BETA), there is no option to add page breaks when exporting a whole class into one large file. When we print, some data prints front and back incorrectly, messing up the way the pages print. Can that feature be added back (it was in the old family report batch print). Thank you!

Bring back family report option from a Student Profile Report
While I'm hopeful that the batch printing will be easier to print and send home reports with each student, I'm frustrated that you can no longer print a family report from a Student Profile Report. Please bring back this option from the "print and share" menu in the Student Profile report. Our teachers and counselors use this feature frequently when sharing data in team meetings and with families who may not have saved a previous report.

New Batch Print Beta Feature Request
The new batch print feature is definitely on the right track. Could you also include the option to create one pdf per school, sorted first by teacher, then by student. Printing is done at the building level for us. Some of our schools are large, with 5-6 teachers per grade in elementary and 6 grades. Currently, none of the options really allows for that. It would make printing, sorting, and distribution to teachers to send home so much easier. Thank you.

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…

Client Notification When System is Down
MAP should PROACTIVELY post a message on their website and/or send immediate communication to their stakeholders when they're experiencing internal issues, i.e. today's server issue, RATHER THAN waiting for stakeholders to contact them, wait on the phone for hours of time, to find out what the issue is. Today's server error was INCREDIBLY disruptive to our EOY testing schedule and school community. The communication from MAP was not there and could have mitigated many of these frustrations.

There should be a way to delete unused sessions all at once from a term
There should be a way to delete unused sessions easily. Once a session is not in use for at least a month it should automatically delete. This would prevent the unnecessary steps of looking up sessions and deleting them before creating new ones for a new term.
Or there should be a way to duplicate the sessions from one term to the next and delete the original ones once this is done.

Participation rate
Create a report or dashboard that will provide you with the participation rate for a certain period of time. For example, I want to see the percentage of my students who set for MAP testing within the first week of the window.
Create a dashboard that will show the percentage of the invalid test, rapid guessing, and test timing.6 votes -
Testing Sessions
Please make it so all the sessions from a term can be duplicated to a new term in one shot. It's incredibly time consuming to have to "edit" them and move them over one by one.

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.

Gender X options should be available as default, rather than special request
To be more inclusive, the Gender X option should be available by default for all schools, rather than needing to make a special request to have it added.
