Introduction to MAP Growth

The MAP Growth Administration and Operations Guidance booklet provides schools with instructions and information on how to prepare and administer the MAP? GrowthTM assessments throughout the school year. All relevant school staff involved in the preparation and administration of MAP Growth assessments should read this document.

What Is MAP Growth?

MAP Growth from NWEA? is a computer adaptive assessment--meaning that the difficulty of questions adjusts throughout the assessment based on the student's responses. MAP Growth is an approved common screener assessment option in NYCDOE.

RIT scores:

Measure student performance independent of grade level

MAP Growth assessments provide a scaled score referred to as the RIT score, which is a measurement that quantifies a student's academic performance. The RIT score allows educators to initially identify students' achievement in a given subject area. Since the RIT scale is grade-independent, educators can track a student's growth over time.

Show student growth over time

Connect to New York State Learning Standards

Based on a student's RIT score, MAP Growth assessments provide suggested areas of strength and focus that address New York State Learning Standards so that educators can personalize their instructional planning for students in their classrooms.

MAP Growth assessments are free and available to all DOE schools. These assessments are administered online using a device or computer. Refer to System Requirements on page 46.

What's New This Year?

For more of the latest on NWEA MAP Growth, review the "What's New" resource in the NYC MAP Connection. It includes information on product enhancements and releases, principal and proctor resources, technical guidance, and other key information to set you up for a successful testing season.

School Profile Report Beta Release

The School Profile report, available as a beta release for users with school-wide access, uses an interactive and intuitive visual design to present school, grade, and class aggregate data. School and district leaders can use the report to quickly compare and track trends, identify classes that need additional support, evaluate results of major changes, and more.

You can review school achievement data at the grade and class level for a single term on the Achievement tab, or you can use the Achievement Comparisons tab to compare two terms.
