Comparing Your District Names
In this task, you will compare the MAP Custom Name values for schools, grades, and ethnic groups (called “Race” in Clever), and then make any needed adjustments to the MAP Custom Name values in the MAP preferences.
Prerequisite: You should have already connected your student information system (SIS) with Clever, and have completed a sync with the data.
Open MAP and Clever Settings
Required MAP role: District Assessment Coordinator or System Administrator
-
Log in to MAP at start.mapnwea.org.
- Select Manage Preferences in the header (only available to users with MAP role of System Administrator or District Assessment Coordinator).
-
Select Modify MAP District.
-
In a new browser window, log in to clever.com.
Ideally, you should arrange your desktop so you can see both windows beside each other.
- In the side navigation, choose Support Tools > Data Browser.
- Keep both sites open, and continue with the next steps.
Compare and Adjust Names
-
Starting with school names, compare the MAP Custom Name values in the MAP preferences with the Clever School values shown under the Schools tab.
- For any values that do not match, make changes in the MAP preferences:
- To edit a name, select the existing name and click Edit Name and State Code from the buttons appearing above the list.
- To add a name, click Add School.
- Keep the MAP preferences open for the next steps.
Grades
NWEA and Clever have automatic table mapping in place for Grade values that do not require you to edit name values in MAP to match Clever. See Table 1 below.
Clever Value | NWEA Standard Name Value |
---|---|
Prekindergarten | PK |
Kindergarten | K |
1 | 1 |
2 | 2 |
3 | 3 |
4 | 4 |
5 | 5 |
6 | 6 |
7 | 7 |
8 | 8 |
9 | 9 |
10 | 10 |
11 | 11 |
12 | 12 |
Other | OT |
We will then roster to the NWEA Custom Name value associated with the NWEA Standard Name value that Clever matches on based on Table 1 above.
Note:
-
MAP has a two-digit limitation on Grades.
-
If multiple Custom Name values exist for one NWEA Standard Name value in MAP, then Clever will roster to the first Custom Name in the list for that Grade. For example, see Table 2 below.
NWEA Standard Name Value | MAP Custom Name Value | Rostered Value in MAP |
---|---|---|
K |
K |
K |
KG |
Ethnic Groups
NWEA and Clever have automatic table mapping in place for Ethnic Group values that do not require you to edit MAP Custom Name values to match Clever. See Table 3 below.
Clever Value | NWEA Standard Name Value |
---|---|
Asian | Asian |
Black or African-American | Black or African American |
American Indian | American Indian or Alaska Native |
Two or more races | Multi-ethnic |
Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander | Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander |
Caucasian | White |
Unknown | Not Specified or Other |
We will then roster to the MAP Custom Name value associated to the NWEA Standard Name value that Clever matches based on the table above.
Note: If multiple Custom Name values exist for one NWEA Standard Name in MAP, then Clever will roster to the first Custom Name in the list for that Ethnic Group. For example, see Table 4 below.
NWEA Standard Name Value | Custom Name | Rostered Value in MAP |
---|---|---|
