For more resources and information on the Maine Through Year Assessment, visit the Maine DOE Through Year Assessment webpage or the NWEA Maine Connection page.  \nAbout the Maine Through Year Assessment  \nThe Maine Through Year Assessment assesses Maine students in grades 3 through 8 and 2nd year of high school in the content areas of Reading and Math. The Through Year Assessment consists of three administrations: fall, winter, and spring. The fall and spring administrations are required for all students; the winter administration is optional. Students with significant cognitive disabilities who qualify for the alternate assessment to the Maine Through Year Assessment participate in the MSAA. The Maine Through Year Assessment does not need to be submitted for any student who was assessed through the alternate assessment. For more information on the participation requirements for the Maine Educational Assessments, please see the Maine   \nComprehensive Assessment System Guidelines.  \nThe Maine Through Year Assessment in Reading and Mathematics was developed to provide teachers, students, and parents with information on student learning strengths and needs throughout the year, as well as student progress in mastering college and career-ready skills based on Maine’s accountability standards, the Common Core State Standards.  \nThe Maine Through Year Assessment is administered online and is computer-adaptive, varying the difficulty of the next question based on a student’s performance on prior assessment questions. As a result, the assessment adapts to the learner and is unique to every student. The assessment is composed of items, or questions, from NWEA’s through-year item bank ","cbCaiujC3iFQ3PXT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiujC3iFQ3PXT","pdf",3487514,46,"English","# Part 1—Introduction\n## About the Maine Through Year Assessment\n## Maine-Specific Scale Score\n## RIT Scores\n## Available Reports\n# Part 2—Organization Reports (Spring Only)\n## School Administrative Unit (SAU) Report\n## School and Teacher Report\n# Part 3—RIT Report\n# Part 4—Student Reports\n## Dynamic Student Report\n## Growth Report (Spring Only)\n## Individual Student Report (Spring Only)\n# Part 5—Score Report Builder\n## Summary Report (Spring Only)\n## Demographic Report (Spring Only)\n## RIT Report\n## Bookmark Reports from Score Report Builder\n# Part 6—Student Results File\n# Part 7—Additional Reporting Options\n# Appendix A—Available NTCs\n# Appendix B—Assessments Without Score Results","[{\"question\":\"What is the Maine Through Year Assessment and which subjects and grades does it cover?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses Maine students in Reading and Mathematics in grades 3–8 and the 2nd year of high school.\"},{\"question\":\"How many administrations are included, and which are required?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment includes fall, winter, and spring administrations.
