“We’re very data-driven, so we still had to measure ‘Are we making a difference?’ And we had to have something that was consistent, so NWEA gives us all the best data that we’ve been able to find.”

“MAP Reading Fluency™ has been such a gift to our network this year…it really provided our teachers easy access to high-quality data when it came to early literacy.”

“NWEA, it’s parent friendly. It’s extremely teacher friendly, unlike some other routes that our district has tried. NWEA is my favorite, it’s not rocket science. I’m a teacher and it’s teacher friendly. And most importantly, it’s student friendly.”
