If your student answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. These results will provide a more complete picture of what your student knows and is ready to learn\u2014whether it is on, above, or below their grade level. This is much different than an assessment used to determine \u201cmastery\u201d. Students will NOT be able to answer all of the questions correctly. In fact, because the NWEA MAP Growth assessments are adaptive, it will only be possible to answer 50% of the questions correctly by design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MAP Growth Reading assessments provide immediate and accurate information about your student\u2019s learning, allowing teachers to identify students with similar scores that are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics, and then plan instruction accordingly. This data, along with classroom assessment data, is also utilized during building data meetings to ensure all students are receiving instructional support for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1NI9ILEdIW6p6ZykyB8OW8Rx2D6E_iMUa\/view?usp=drive_link\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1NI9ILEdIW6p6ZykyB8OW8Rx2D6E_iMUa\/view?usp=drive_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Family Guide to MAP Growth (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/12zhe0WL71xoCvEamI7aNizgWSiBck-MN\/view?usp=drive_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Una Guia Familiar Para MAP Growth (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AcrUb8pI10c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What is a Lexile? &#8211; MetaMetrics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/85sNYZy__84?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ndWlJOazc30?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-accordion gb-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"gb-accordion-title\">Additional Resources for Parents and Educators<\/summary><div class=\"gb-accordion-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mm-static-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/resources-api\/resources\/Lexile-Map-for-Reading_8.5x11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexile Framework Infographic (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mm-static-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/resources-api\/resources\/Spanish-Lexile-Map-for-Reading_8.5x11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexile Framework &#8211; Spanish (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.lexile.com\/lexile-measures-parent-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexile Framework for Reading &#8211; Parent Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.lexile.com\/lexile-grade-level-charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexile Grade Level Charts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.lexile.com\/for-educators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexile Educator Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NWEA MAP Growth assessments are unique, and it adapts to your student\u2019s responses to measure your student\u2019s skill level.
