District-Wide Multiple Science
Assessment Data
NWEA and PLAN
How did the eighth grade students perform on the NWEA/MAP general
science?
¥The NWEA/MAP science assessment replaced the SCASS as the
multiple measure in science.
¥The students in grades 4-8 will take the science assessment over
science concepts and processes in the fall and over general science content
(life, earth/space, physical) in the spring.
¥The spring 2004 testing will provide the baseline data for the
general science content and the fall 2005 testing will provide the baseline
data for science concepts and processes.
