Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Nearpod is an interactive lesson-delivery platform that embeds formative questions, polls, quizzes, drawing, matching, collaboration, and other checks within teacher-led or student-paced instruction. Educators receive response information while a lesson is underway.

Nearpod is useful for immediate checks for understanding and lesson adjustment, but it is primarily an instructional-engagement platform rather than a district benchmark or standardized assessment system. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

NWEA MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive interim assessment from NWEA, now part of HMH. It measures achievement and growth in subjects such as reading, language usage, mathematics, and science and reports results on the RIT scale.

Districts administer MAP Growth during planned testing windows to examine growth over time, compare performance with norms, set goals, group students, and connect results with instructional resources. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.
