ACTIVATE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:

-ADAPTIVE ASSESSMENT

*MAP GROWTH* - The test knows your students. If you get a question right you get another question (more difficult) and so on and so forth. It loads their individual last performance to individualize their test.**This is why it takes so long!

*Under 20 minutes, RED FLAG!

*Make your testing schedule

*If they are spending over 80 minutes on the test, they are taking too long.

*The students who take the longest on this test, are used to MASTERY ASSESSMENTS.

*Support higher end learners! If you get a difficult question, that is

*Building their assessment literacy.

*Have conversations with your classes. Check on students, encourage them to take their time and do their best.

*This is just an adaptive assessment, "You aren't supposed to get all of the questions right."

-RIT SCALE AS A GROWTH MEASURE

*Ready for Instruction Today (RIT), THIS IS NOT WHAT THEY KNOW! It is what they are READY TO LEARN.

*Ranges from 100-350

*In reports, this runs separate

*RIT scales; RIT bands

-NORMATIVE DATA

*Data trends

*Download chart, Available in NWEA workbook

*The numbers on our customized reports are more accurate

*For Example: (on "Normative Data Excerpt"):

-K at the beginning of the year, the average student is at level 141.0 ---Mid-Year 151.3, End-Year 158.1

-INSTRUCTIONAL LEVEL VS MASTERY

*Instructional level is WHAT they are READY to learn.

-LEARNING CONTINUUM

*Ranges from the low learning to the high end learning in a vast continuum. Grade levels do not matter in the learning continuum.
