NWEA MAP Growth assessments provide teachers with data to help them target instruction for their students, and IXL makes it easy to get the most out of this data with our MAP Growth plans! These plans point students to the IXL skills that correspond with each area of the exam, so they can quickly find and practice skills that will help them close learning gaps. Read on to learn more about IXL’s MAP Growth plans.

Personalized MAP Growth study plans

IXL’s personalized MAP Growth study plans provide targeted support using students’ RIT scores, guiding learners to the exact skills that will help them grow the most. 

Getting started is simple:  just select the “Create study plans for students” button, select your students’ grade level, and enter their scores for math, reading, and language. Students can also create their own plans by selecting the “Create your own study plan” button and entering in their own RIT scores. Or, you can work with your IXL account manager to bulk upload RIT scores for your entire school or district to generate plans.

Once the personalized study plans are created, your students will have a custom list of skills targeted to their exact areas of improvement. All they have to do is click on a skill to start practicing. As students make progress, they can update their plans with more challenging skills by clicking “I’m ready for more” below each strand. Alternatively, if they’ve taken a more recent MAP Growth assessment, they can update their plans by entering new scores.

MAP Growth skill plans

If you don’t have students’ RIT scores available, you can choose a general skill plan for their grade range instead, which shows skills aligned with MAP Growth assessment strands.

IXL provides MAP Growth skill plans for:

• Math (Grades K-2, 2-5, 6+, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II)
• Reading (Grades K-2, 2-5, and 6+)
• Language (Grades 2-12)

You can find both the personalized study plans and general skill plans on the IXL skill plans page in the test preparation section.
