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

  1. Log in to MAP at start.mapnwea.org.

  2. Select Modify Preferences in the header (only available to users with MAP role of System Administrator or District Assessment Coordinator).
  3. Select Modify MAP District.

  4. 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.

  5. In the side navigation, choose Support Tools > Data Browser.
  6. Keep both sites open, and continue with the next steps.

Compare and Adjust Names

  1. Starting with school names, compare the MAP Custom Name values in the MAP preferences with the Clever School values shown under the Schools tab.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Table 1. Clever values and corresponding NWEA Standard Name values for Grade

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.

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.

Table 3. Clever values and corresponding Standard Name values for Ethnic Group

Clever Value NWEA Standard Name Value
Asian Asian
Black or African-American Black or African American
American Indian American Indian or Alaska Native

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.
