\u201cIn conversation, do you listen, or do you wait to talk?\u201d Over the years, this question<\/a> has appeared in many different contexts<\/a> for good reason: research shows<\/a> that only about ten percent of us listen effectively. Why? Because being a good, active listener is really hard! The great news is that making even small changes in how we listen can make a big difference. The business-focused article \u201cWhat is active listening?\u201d<\/a> has a lot of great information about how to practice active listening (including how to become the epically named \u201ctrampoline listener\u201d). So what does listening have to do with the MAP Growth Class Profile report<\/a>? A lot, it turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to you really matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being active listeners is an essential part of what makes everything work here at NWEA. You give us so many classroom- and district-tested ways to improve teaching and learning, for everyone. Your thoughts and opinions help drive our innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reports generated by MAP\u00ae Growth\u2122<\/a> are a great example: your input has helped to build the full suite of profile reports that provide essential information for making crucial decisions, from the district view to each individual student. The first phase of our mission to improve MAP Growth reports\u2014the Student<\/a>, Class<\/a>, School<\/a>, and District<\/a> profile reports\u2014is now complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a quick look at how your feedback made the MAP Growth Class Profile report<\/a> even more helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Older? Newer? Yes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MAP Growth Class Profile report is available to all educators, but it\u2019s been specifically designed for teachers. We know from the feedback that teachers find it helpful for analyzing each class\u2019s achievement data and identifying specific subjects or content areas where the entire class may benefit from additional instruction. But we also heard that there were some older MAP Growth reports\u2014specifically the Class report and the Class Breakdown report\u2014that displayed data in a way teachers really liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we took the most important parts of the older Class report and Class Breakdown report and transferred them into the newly upgraded Class Profile report. These two new visuals help teachers better understand and support their students by clearly identifying where the whole class could use more instruction and how students are grouped based on achievement levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have heard you and have taken the best parts of those older reports to provide you with exactly what you\u2019ve asked for: reliable, quickly digestible information in a single, class-level report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s quite a bit more work that\u2019s been done \u201cunder the hood\u201d in response to what you\u2019ve told us. The updates to the MAP Growth Class Profile report have made it easier to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
