My K-12 district has been looking into switching to NWEA Measure of Academic Progress for our universal screener. The only drawback we see is our current universal screener (K-8 AIMSweb, which provides Lexile) has progress monitor capabilities and MAP doesn't for RtI. What does your district use to progress monitor tier 2 and 3 students?

If you are not familiar with this assessment you should look into it. We give it to our students 3 times a year and it provides lots of data to drive your instruction including lexile numbers.
