Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA/MAP)

The Westonka School District uses the NWEA/MAP assessments to monitor growth in student achievement from fall to spring each year, and from one year to the next. With detailed information about a student's strengths and weaknesses, teachers are able to adjust curriculum and tailor assignments to help each student improve.

The NWEA/MAP tests are nationally normed and are used throughout the country to measure students' progress toward meeting high academic standards.
