Classroom Resources

NWEA classroom resources help teachers apply test results to instructional planning.

Students learn and grow when information is appropriately challenging — not too difficult, yet not boring. NWEA classroom resources let teachers move quickly from test results to instructional planning.

Teachers use these classroom resources to:

• Define flexible groups for instruction.
• Guide differentiated instruction.
• Link test results to skills and concepts included in state standards.
• Evaluate appropriate reading materials.
• Facilitate goal-setting and student learning plans.

Teachers easily target appropriate and relevant instruction for each student or group of students using DesCartes, NWEA's continuum of learning. DesCartes translates test scores to skills and concepts in your state standards. NWEA Reading tests report Lexile scores so that teachers and media center staff can help students and parents select appropriately challenging reading materials.

Learn how to:

Guide appropriate instruction using classroom resources. Group students with similar instructional levels. Help students become more responsible for setting their own academic goals.
