The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA)[1][2] is a not-for-profit organization that creates academic assessments for students pre-K-12.
NWEA assessments are used by over 9,500 schools and districts in 145 countries.[3] Its primary assessment product is the MAP Suite, a collection of formative and interim assessments that help teachers identify unique student learning needs, track skill mastery, and measure academic growth over time.[4]
By testing students two times over the school year, MAP assessments attempt to track student growth over time in order to help educators plan curriculum that matches a student's ability, and provides a method of visualizing the student's educational progression.
In January 2023, it was announced that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt had acquired NWEA and would operate as a division of HMH.[5] This was finalized on May 1, 2023.[6]
