FAQ – MAP Growth Science for use with Next Generation Science Standards and other multidimensional science standards

What’s it like in classrooms right now? The only way to know is to ask a teacher, so we sat down with a first-grade elementary teacher and a sixth-grade social studies & science teacher and listened.

In this unit, students will explore how the historical practice of redlining interacts with the patterns of heat distribution within communities.

A preview of what students will encounter in NWEA assessments and other high-quality assessments for multidimensional science standards in the coming years.

Overview of how NWEA Science Content Specialists align items to multidimensional standards such as the Next Generation Science Standards.

A 2-page document outlining the user norms for MAP Growth tests in Biology. Includes details on how the user norms were developed, how user norms differ from national representative norms, and what years of data were used to craft them. Detailed charts are included that cover fall to winter, Fall to spring, and winter to spring norms.

What are digital and disciplinary literacy, and why are they so important right now? We dive into these questions with Laura B. Hansen, director of Teaching and Learning Connections at NWEA.
