Read the first 7 Accommodations and Accessibility flashcards as text

  1. Which built-in MAP Growth platform feature allows students to hear test questions read aloud as a Technology-Enhanced Accommodation?

    Answer: Text-to-speech (TTS)

    Text-to-speech (TTS) is a Technology-Enhanced Accommodation in MAP Growth that uses the platform's built-in capability to read test content aloud to eligible students.

  2. What is the key difference between a Universal Tool and a Designated Support in NWEA MAP Growth testing?

    Answer: Universal Tools are available to all students without documentation; Designated Supports must be assigned to specific students by an educator

    Universal Tools are accessible to every student without any documentation, while Designated Supports must be identified and assigned by educators for students with specific, identified needs before testing.

  3. Which of the following students would MOST likely qualify for extended time as a formal accommodation during MAP Growth testing?

    Answer: A student with a documented processing disorder specified in their IEP

    Extended time is a formal accommodation that must be documented in a student's IEP or 504 Plan due to a qualifying disability or condition.

  4. How does the NWEA MAP Growth platform support students who need larger text without requiring a separate external device?

    Answer: The platform's zoom/magnification Universal Tool allows students to increase text size on screen

    The MAP Growth platform includes a zoom/magnification feature as a Universal Tool, enabling students to increase text size without requiring special setup or formal documentation.

  5. What is the test proctor's primary role when administering MAP Growth to students with accommodations?

    Answer: To ensure accommodations are set up correctly and monitor their appropriate use during testing

    The proctor's role is to implement pre-established accommodations correctly and ensure they are used as documented — not to determine, change, or modify accommodations during testing.

  6. Which combination of accommodations would be MOST appropriate for an English Language Learner who struggles with academic English vocabulary during MAP Growth testing?

    Answer: Extended time and a bilingual glossary

    Extended time and a bilingual glossary are standard accommodations for ELL students that help them access academic vocabulary without compromising the integrity or validity of the test.

  7. What is the recommended approach when a student's IEP specifies an accommodation that is not directly available in the NWEA MAP Growth platform?

    Answer: Consult the NWEA Accommodations Manual and work with the student's team to identify an equivalent allowable accommodation

    Educators should reference NWEA's Accommodations Manual and collaborate with the student's IEP team to find an appropriate alternative that preserves both the student's access and the test's validity.
