NWEA has developed a self-guided learning plan to support your transition to Web-Based MAP.
Topics include key differences between platforms, how to enroll students and staff, how to
prepare for and proctor tests, as well as MAP basics. This 3-step plan uses a combination of prerecorded and live webinars, listed below.
1. Self-Directed Training:
MAP Essentials provides district staff with foundational information to get started with WebBased MAP. Note that each training category contains an introductory tutorial focused on the
transitioning process. These sessions will set the stage for your learning. We encourage your
staff to view all sessions pertinent to their role in the district.
