In order to understand where our students are in their learning progression, our schools will administer the NWEA MAP Growth Test. Instructions found on this document will help to prepare you, your child, and your child's district-issued iPad. This assessment will be delivered remotely by your child's classroom teacher. Please allow your child to complete the assessment independently.

What is MAP Growth?

• MAP Growth helps teachers understand what students know today, so goals can be set to improve a student's growth throughout the year. Students cannot pass or fail this test.
• This test will not affect grades. In fact, it's normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly. Please don't help them!
• Given the challenges of learning from home, MAP Growth test results are especially helpful this year. These results will help us know what students are ready to learn.
