Created by educators for educators, MAP
assessments provide detailed, actionable
data about where each child is on their
unique learning path. Because student
engagement is essential to any testing
experience, NWEA works with educators
to create test items that interest children
and help to capture detail about what they
know and what they’re ready to learn. It’s
information teachers can use in the
classroom to help every child, every day.
