Additional SSO Options (OIDC with SCIM)
NWEA needs to build additional integrations for authentication and user provisioning into NWEA MAP Growth. Currently the only two options for SSO are Clever and Classlink. However a system with as sensitive of data as NWEA, there needs to be configuration for a fully fledged IdP such as Okta. Ideally this configuration would be via OIDC and also support user provisioning via SCIM. Currently all user account creation is managed manually, which can leave behind stale user accounts that pose security risks. Further, there is no native way within NWEA's user management portal to enforce MFA. If NWEA were to…

Make student progress by question number visible via "Test History Search" when students have not yet completed testing.
Last year, I was able to do a search for students who had not yet completed testing and see which question number they were on. This information helped me determine how much time to set aside for students, how to group them, etc. in order to give them additional time to complete their testing. Please bring this feature back! I had to call tech support and go through my students one by one in order to get this data.

kiosk
The requirement for Kiosk mode on chromebooks seems excessive. With a large number of students, paying a monthly fee for kiosk mode on top of the NWEA fee adds up to quite a lot for something that is only used 2-3x per year.

Software for Load Balancing
I understand that NWEA uses adaptive testing for the question pool. But I was wondering if a program could be designed to pool some questions to a server or workstation, and then the student could still retrieve new questions from the local pool. And then if new content is required the program could do a periodic sync to NWEA. This would be helpful for load balancing on our network.

Custom Windows Per Building PER assessment (MTH, READING, SCI)
I love the new option of setting up custom windows for my individual buildings based on weeks of instruction.
One additional option I wish it had was to also allow us to choose individual custom windows for each test. Example: custom window for Reading and custom window for Math all within one building (also within the district testing window range). Thank you for your consideration.1 vote -
Mass Removal/Inactivation of Users
We use Clever to sync student and teacher data into MAP. However many users need additional roles which have to be added manually (super cumbersome). During rollover we accidentally added School Test Coordinator to users but didn't specify the school, giving everyone we added access to ALL campuses. We have no way to remove the bulk upload, aside from going to each profile and updating the roles manually. We also have MANY users who are no longer active in our SIS, they should be marked inactive in MAP, but again manual process. The rostering process could use some work.

Login Fronted: Logging Me Out of My Mind!
Despite actively working on the platform, I'm repeatedly logged out automatically after a short period. This isn't just inconvenient; it's wasting a significant amount of my time and severely impacting my productivity. Frankly, it's baffling that such a basic functionality isn't working as expected.I strongly encourage you to look into this issue, as it’s turning a straightforward task into an unnecessarily complicated one.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Give district admin password reset option for users!
Please give us the ability to reset user passwords. I've had to call/chat about 5 teachers unable to use the forgot password option (and they have existing accounts). I've wasted so much time on it, including with a chat help who forgot to escalate so we've missed more days of testing.

Single Sign On (SSO) for Google and Microsoft
Can you please set up the admin login to allow SSO with Microsoft and Google? Our staff and teachers use an app portal. This is our only app that doesn't allow SSO.

MDM Solution Please
We need a solution for Mobile Device Management on our laptops (MacBooks) We use Mosyle and the App for this blocks the browser as they both 'share' the highest levels of security. Our only solution is to manually delete the Moysle App off every laptop in the school used for testing prior to each testing session. This is time consuming and frustrating. (They do not conflict in iOS for our iPads)

Please increase the role of Administrator to have the system privilege of "Manage Users". I have requested this form several years now.
School leaders that have the Administrator role, should have the ability to manage users for their school. Otherwise, they cannot change a password for a user.

Clever Sync and Manually Rostering a student
If a school uses Clever Sync for Automatic Rostering, having a checkbox in the student profile for a manually entered student through NWEA that would override the sync of that profile would not be erased on the next sync. Then uncheck the student when ready to have the next sync erase the student. It would be helpful for screening new students before they are active in the school's SIS.

template roster
Put a link to download the Roster Template on the Import screen. It used to be on the old Home screen and your help page still sends me to the home screen -- but the new one where the template is not located! (at least I can't find it easily)

Make available a bank of DEMO Data
Have a bank of DEMO Data that consists of all subjects that can be used during summer PD for teachers when school district data is not available. That way teachers can get in and get hands-on with actual data to see which reports will be most beneficial for driving both Tier 1 and small group instruction in their classrooms. Just watching videos on the NWEA website, or looking at pictures of the different kinds of reports, is not enough for teachers to get good at using the multitude of ways that NWEA can be of use to them in their…

Enhancing User Experience on Bulk Update Page
I'm reaching out to emphasize the critical need for a checkbox feature on the bulk update page. Without it, selecting students for updates is unnecessarily cumbersome and time-consuming.

School Data Manager
We could really use a school Data Manager! It is so important that things run smoothly, and having on site staff would be very helpful.

Search for More than 200 Students at a Time
I want to administer the test to an entire grade level but we have more than 1,100 students, so it is difficult to put them all into a testing session. I want to be able to search for all of 6th grade at a time but can't because I can't search for more than 200 at once. Can you please lift that restriction? Thank you!

School Data Administrator
Creating a School Data Administrator position would allow a data leader at our school to be in control of rostering, resetting tests, adjusting settings such as Weeks of Instruction, etc. instead of relying on someone at the district/Archdiocese level for these tasks. This would help our school's teachers and leaders have a better understanding and greater investment in the testing process.

Consider adding impersonation role for district coordinators.
Frequently, campus admin. and teachers have an issue, or need step by step instructions despite providing them the directions from the site. An ability to impersonate a campus admin. or teacher would allow district coordinates to provide specific process as well as assist in trouble shooting issues.

Update to Rosters Import File Requirements
The new update to the rosters import file requirements necessitates that each row have a valid email address associated with it. In theory, this is a good idea. But in practice, it is causing more work for schools/districts who have classes that are not yet assigned to an instructor yet (for example, classes currently being covered by a long-term sub). Previously, we were able to upload the file with "Staff" listed in the instructor column. Now, I am forced to manually change 300+ rows of data to connect each student in these classes to the appropriate instructor account. The previous…
