Achievement and Growth Norms for Course-Specific MAP® Growth™ Tests
He, Wei
NWEA
A series of course-specific MAP Growth Mathematics and Science subject tests were released successively starting in August 2017 to replace the older NWEA End-of-Course (EOC) tests. Different from the prior NWEA EOC tests taken only at the end of a course, these course-specific tests can be administered multiple times throughout the school year, typically in the fall, winter, and spring, allowing for student growth to be evaluated in a content area over the duration of a course. This report documents the procedure used to produce the achievement and growth user norms for a series of the course-specific MAP® Growth™ subject tests, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, Integrated Math III, and Biology/Life Science. Among these tests, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, Integrated Math III, and Biology/Life Science were the first time to have their norms available. For both achievement and growth norms, the percentile ranks corresponding to a student's achievement and observed academic growth between terms relative to their academic peers were developed. The percentile rank is a normative statistic that indicates how well a student performed or grew in comparison to their peers in the norm group. The achievement norms cover three terms (fall, winter, and spring), and the growth norms cover fall-to-winter, winter-to-spring, and fall-to-spring growth.
