Each child learns differently so we use computerized adaptive assessments that test differently, allowing teachers to see their students as individuals – each with their own base of knowledge. NWEA Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) tests present students with age-appropriate content across multiple grade-levels. As a student responds to questions, the test responds to the student, adjusting up or down in difficulty. The result is a wealth of detailed information for teachers, parents and administrators in the form of an equal-interval RIT scale that allows for analysis of a child's learning. For educators, it means having timely information that, used well, can change the course of a student's school year — and life. 

 

Students are given the district writing assessment at the end of the year before the final reporting period. The California Common Core State Standards for English/language arts establish the types of writing students should master at particular grade-levels.
