Using NWEA MAP Data to Develop SLOs

 Join NWEA staff to discuss how to use MAP data to develop school and/or student SLOs.  Presenter John Woodin.

Workshop Participants Will Receive 

• Insight into the NWEA interpretation regarding the difference between the SLO looking-forward system of Teacher Effectiveness (“How can we adjust teaching and learning during the coming year to improve student performance?”) and other looking backward systems (“How did our students perform this year?”).
• A review of NWEA norming methodology, NWEA growth norms and NWEA growth calculator tools.
  
• Hands on activities with NWEA growth norms.
  
• Hands on activities using sample MAP data to help school personnel create SLOs.
  

 Introduction 

• No single assessment should be the only data point utilized. Each has its designed purpose and best practice of use.
  
• Use multiple assessments that support and inform each other.
  
• All assessments contain measurement error.
  
• Wisconsin DPI information (from their website) regarding the use of MAP data to create SLOs.
  
• NWEA official position regarding using MAP data to evaluate educators.
  
• NWEA work with Teacher Effectiveness in SLO states and Teacher Quality (non-SLO) states.
  
• Client-Server and Web Based differences and partner migration direction of NWEA.
  

Norms Review 

• NWEA Norming Process/Schedule
  
• Status Norms
  
• Growth Norms
  
• How NWEA calculates growth
  
• Growth Trajectories
  
• Typical/Appropriate Growth
  
• Using BOTH Status and Growth Norms in our SLO work
  
• NWEA Norm Calculators—their function & use in our SLO work
  

MAP Reports for SLO Creation/Evaluation

• Accessing Reports Client-Server
  
• Accessing Reports Web-Based (include a brief look at the videos located in every MARC site)
  
• Summary Reports – how they are alike, how they are different and when to utilize them.
