NWEA

  • NWEA is a computer-adaptive test that adjusts to each student’s learning level, providing a unique set of test questions based on their responses to previous questions. 
  • If a student gets a question wrong, the next question will be easier.  If a student gets a question right, the next question will be harder.  
  • The goal is to answer 50 percent of the questions correctly. Students are not expected to know all the answers. 

How is the data from this assessment used?

  • NWEA data is uploaded to digital programs(eSpark K-2, iXL 3-6) to develop individualized pathways for students.
  • This is one data point that teachers and administrators use to determine the most appropriate instructional plan and services for each individual student.
