Student Assessments

Upon enrollment, students will dive into dynamic assessments that will play a vital role in shaping their Personalized Learning Plan.

Laying the Foundation

Students will complete the NWEA and MindPrint assessments, providing valuable insights into their unique learning styles, academic strengths and challenges, personal interests, and future goals. These results lay the groundwork for each student’s Personalized Learning Plan and Academic Plan, equipping Academic Coaches and Teachers with the tools to support students throughout their educational journey.

NWEA MAP GROWTH Assessment

NWEA MAP Assessment results are used to establish a baseline and measure a student’s academic growth over time in math and reading. The information this assessment provides helps inform the Academic Plan for the school year and helps the Education Team form instructional strategies regardless of how far the student is above or below grade level. The insights provided are shared with parents and allow our Education Team to tailor instruction to the individual student’s needs.

MindPrint Assessment

MindPrint Learning assessments provide valuable insights into your child’s unique strengths and learning needs. By leveraging these assessments, parents, students, and teachers can better understand how the student learns best and tailor support accordingly. The research-based strategies recommended by MindPrint Learning empower students to maximize their potential across all academic areas, leading to improved academic performance and increased confidence.

Interest Inventory and Future Goals Questionnaire

As part of our Personalized Learning Plan, students will complete an interest inventory and future goals questionnaire. Our educational approach is focused on the whole child, and that means getting to know the activities outside of the classroom that bring them joy and fulfillment. The future goals questionnaire helps our Education Team understand the student’s aspirations and allows them to develop an Academic Plan that will support those goals. If a student is unsure of their future path, it gives the team the opportunity to work with them to develop a plan for their future.

Benefits of Assessments

NWEA MAP Assessment results are used to establish a baseline and measure a student’s academic growth over time in math and reading and MindPrint Learning assessments provide valuable insights into your child’s unique strengths and learning needs. Benefits include:

  • Addressing learning gaps by identifying the reasons for inconsistencies in student performance.
  • Employing a strengths-based approach that extends beyond content, guiding students to cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
  • Providing an academic profile that highlights areas needing support, areas to monitor, and strengths to nurture.
  • Equipping Academic Coaches and Teachers with strategies that support each student’s unique strengths and areas for growth.

Assessments Integration

Through a partnership with NWEA and MindPrint, our Education Team receives an integrated report that includes the MindPrint assessment results and NWEA MAP Growth scores. MindPrint identifies which cognitive skills are contributing to student underperformance and provides instructional, evidence-based interventions. This report allows our Education Team to seamlessly determine the best ways to support each student on their academic journey.
