Optional: Include a Special Programs File (SPF)
Why would I use a Special Programs File (SPF)?
The Special Programs File is an optional file districts include when enrolling students through the standard Class Roster File (CRF) process. This file allows the district to specify which students are in which Special Programs for the purposes of percentage-based reporting. The SPF allows you to create reports that disaggregate your data by Special Program groups so you can see how students in each group performed on MAP assessments.
Please note: due to student privacy laws, NWEA Reports will only show aggregate, percentage-based data for each Special Program group; information about individual students is not included on reports showing Special Program data. Percentage-based reporting is frequently useful as evidence for renewing program funding.
