Case Study: WestEd Predicts Stronger Student Language Growth with NoRedInk

WestEd links NoRedInk mastery to 20% of expected annual growth on MAP in 7,330 students

WestEd, an education research organization, partnered with a mid-sized, diverse public school district to investigate the effectiveness of NoRedInk in improving student outcomes on standardized language assessments.

The solution involved using NoRedInk for mastery-driven writing practice. The study found that performance on NoRedInk was a strong predictor of student growth. Every 10 topics mastered on NoRedInk correlated to achieving 20% of a year's expected growth on the NWEA MAP test, with 37% of students exceeding their annual growth goals by 200% or more. This validated NoRedInk's adaptive learning algorithm and its significant impact on test scores.
