State Information

NWEA publishes two types of information to empower educators to use assessment data at the state level:

Scale Alignment Studies
NWEA has conducted studies to link the RIT scale to the proficiency levels from many state assessments.
Using this information with NWEA assessments, member schools can monitor their students' progress toward the proficiency standards for their states.
Goal Structures
NWEA goal structures connect the content from state standards to each reporting area of a state-aligned MAP test.
Using NWEA Goal Structures, the concepts in Teacher Reports may be directly connected to each state's unique standards as well as the DesCartes continuum of learning.
Goal Structures are also available for our international partners.
