Description

A NWEA dashboard that summarizes state-level MAP Growth achievement and growth trends and related COVID-19 learning-impact analyses for education stakeholders.

Components

• NWEA state dashboard for exploring educational impacts of COVID-19: The NWEA state dashboard summarizes achievement and growth trends for students who took MAP Growth assessments in public schools within selected states. The guide states it "provides insight into the educational impacts of COVID-related academic disruptions" and aims to explain "the analyses, statistics, terms, and data included in the dashboard." It serves state-level users examining unfinished learning. (User guide for interpreting the NWEA state dashboard: Exploring the educational impacts of COVID-19 (2021))

Claims

• The dashboard's cohort view restricts results to students who consistently tested across selected terms, and those outcomes may be positively biased [~W]
• The dashboard's cross-sectional view compares same-grade students across terms using the full sample of testers, but attrition is not random [~W]
• The dashboard reports median achievement percentiles normed to a nationally representative pre-COVID sample and projected proficiency against state cut scores [+W]
• The dashboard primarily focuses on grades 3 through 8 because remote and in-person MAP Growth results are largely comparable for grades 3 and up [+W]
• The dashboard supports comparisons of achievement trends between student groups, including by school poverty level, with a recommendation to compare similar groups [+W]
• The NWEA COVID-19 visualization provides state-level insights into 2020–2021 MAP Growth performance to inform academic recovery [+W]
