NWEA

NWEA, formerly known as the Northwest Evaluation Association,[1][2] is a research-based 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 three 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]
