NWEA/Northwest Evaluation Association is a non-profit organization with regional offices in Portland, Indianapolis, and Houston. www.nwea.org • Aiken County currently tests 1st-9th graders in math, reading and language usage during fall, winter and spring testing windows. • Tests are adaptive and correlated to SC standards. Current normative data is also available for all testing areas and all testing windows. MAP TESTING
Results are available 24 hours after tests are uploaded to NWEA. • Test results are reported in overall RIT scores (Rausch Units) for each testing area. MAP TESTING
Results are also reported in 10-point RIT ranges for goal strand areas • A Class by RIT Report provides a direct link to a SC standards-based DesCartes. • The DesCartes, or learning continuum, outlines the instructional level for students in a given goal strand RIT range. MAP TESTING
MAP testing results can be used to guide differentiated instruction (at all levels). • MAP testing results are stored in TestView, our data management system, allowing results to be easily compared and analyzed. MAP TESTING
Through Testview, we are able to create distribution reports to help us “see” strengths and weaknesses in language, reading, and math by school, grade level, and teacher. Testview Reports
Teachers can access this same type of information for their classes as well, but the greatest source of information for them is contained in the DesCartes. RIT Scores
With this information some schools such as Busbee (below), JD Lever, and Clearwater have created data walls to track the progress of individual students.
