The purpose of this document is to present the new 2020 NWEA MAP Growth R achievement status and
growth norms tables for students and schools. The full norms report will be available in Summer 2020.
MAP Growth norms provide comparative information about achievement and growth from carefully defined
reference populations, allowing educators to compare achievement status, and changes in achievement
status (growth) between test occasions, with students attending the same grade at comparable instructional stages of the school year. For achievement status norms, a students Rasch Unit (RIT) score is
associated with a percentile that shows how well the student performed on a test compared to student
peers in the norming group. The relative evaluation of a students growth from one period to another (e.g.,
from fall to spring) is provided by growth norms.
MAP Growth norms are distinctive in several ways. For most educational assessments, students are
examined in a single test administration throughout the school year. Achievement norms produced from
these types of assessments enable educators to evaluate the relative standing of students for a given
population for each corresponding test administration by grade and academic content area. These norms
have three basic properties. First, they presume that students are maximally engaged when they take their
tests and that their results are all uniformly valid. Failure of this assumption generally underestimates how
well students actually performed. Second, normative comparisons in such a setting are demonstrably fair
because testing all students at the same instance and under standardized conditions results in an accurate
reflection of how well each student performed given the same level of instructional input. Third, norms
tables for such assessments typically consist of a finite, and usually small, number of score-to-percentile
tables specific to content area and grade.
In contrast, the target population for the MAP Growth norms does not assume that students are all maximally engaged at testing. Only test scores of test-engaged students attending a U.S. public school from
Fall 2015 through Spring 2018 are employed. Next, NWEA partners administer MAP Growth assessments
without a fixed, common testing date for all students. For example, a significant proportion of tests administered during spring testing are distributed over a five-week period between April and May each year. As
a result, students who tested during the same school term do not typically possess the same level of instructional exposure when they take MAP Growth, and their results cannot be compared directly with one
another. This implies that a fair normative comparison of students on their MAP Growth scores requires
calibrating a measure of instructional input that addresses the variation in partners testing schedules.
MAP Growth norms may then be constructed that reflect performance commensurate with the students
instructional exposure based on the date of her test and the unique testing schedule of the district. When
