Let\u2019s consider a day in the life of a language arts teacher we\u2019ll call Ms. Harper. In Ms. Harper\u2019s classroom, for at least a half hour every week, her students use MAP\u00ae Reading Fluency\u2122 with Coach<\/a> to get personalized reading instruction. The kids sit down with their tablets, log on, and say hello to Maya, their AI-powered reading tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In previous articles<\/a>, I shared how Maya works behind the scenes to help students along their literacy journey, listening to them read, noticing errors, and providing scaffolded reading instruction<\/a> at the word, phrase, and story level. MAP Reading Fluency with Coach helps each student get the reading practice that\u2019s right for them, but it\u2019s up to Ms. Harper to keep a close eye on their progress and adapt her instruction accordingly. How can she be sure she knows where each student stands, how they\u2019re growing over time, and how they\u2019re doing relative to their peers at school and across the county?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help Ms. Harper answer these and other questions, NWEA built robust reports into MAP Reading Fluency with Coach that make large amounts of data accessible, revealing trends, successes, and red flags. These reports fall under two categories: MAP Reading Fluency assessment reporting and specific Coach reports. Taken together, these reports offer insights into performance and progress at the student, class, grade, school, and district levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u2019d like to look at the Coach reports specifically. By looking at how Ms. Harper uses these reports to answer her own questions, I hope to help you get the most out of these reports so you know how to turn those data-driven insights into your own actionable classroom strategies. It all starts with asking the right questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are my students on track with their tutoring progress?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Ms. Harper\u2019s first stop is the Growth Dashboard, which serves as her homepage when she logs into MAP Reading Fluency with Coach. The Growth Dashboard gives her an immediate, at\u2011a\u2011glance view of how her students are doing with tutoring, assessments, and overall engagement.<\/p>\n

One of the most important widgets for monitoring tutoring progress is the Tutor Weekly Goal widget. This widget sorts students into usage categories\u20140\u20139 minutes, 10\u201319, 20\u201329, and 30+\u2014based on their weekly tutoring time. It also highlights which students may need extra attention and allows Ms. Harper to switch between High Quality Time (time spent fully completing stories) and Total Time (all tutoring minutes, even if a story wasn\u2019t finished). Because NWEA recommends at least 30 minutes of high\u2011quality practice per week, the color\u2011coded usage bands make it easy to see who is meeting expectations.<\/p>\n

When Ms. Harper needs a deeper dive\u2014especially to monitor individual student activity\u2014she clicks directly from the Growth Dashboard into the Usage report. The Usage report provides a detailed weekly summary of each student\u2019s:<\/p>\n
