Instructional areas are reporting categories on MAP Growth reports that are aligned to standards or benchmarks. The full-length MAP Growth tests contain at least seven questions related to each instructional area, allowing you to see how a student is performing in the instructional areas (such as algebraic thinking) as well as the overall subject (such as mathematics). Instructors can use this information to concentrate on a student's areas of relative strength and areas of concern. See Areas of relative strength and areas of relative concern for more information.
The Class Profile report displays instructional area RIT scores as a single score, instead of a range of scores. A histogram has been added to the report and shows students grouped in 10-point RIT bands to help with forming temporary learning groups. See About the Class Profile report and NWEA News.Class Profile enhancements – summer 2024 for more information.
The shorter Screening tests do not give RIT ranges for instructional areas.
