Description
In this brief, discover how ninety-nine districts partnered with NWEA and Khan Academy to implement MAP Accelerator during the COVID-disrupted 2020–21 school year. Results indicate that students using MAP Accelerator for 30 or more minutes a week throughout the school year showed greater-than-expected growth, on average, from fall 2020 to spring 2021 on their MAP Growth tests compared to normative growth based on pre-pandemic trends.
