Archdiocesan NWEA MAP Data Analysts and Data Leaders

Data Analysts at Catholic Schools

Beginning in 2025, the Office for Catholic Schools is requesting that all schools identify at least one “data analyst” or data leader in their school for the purpose of using NWEA MAP data effectively. In partnership with NWEA, the OCS will be providing on-going trainings for data analysts throughout 2025-26, as well as providing schools with more opportunities to showcase their students’ growth and academic achievement through targeted professional development and intentional regional collaboration.

All data analysts attend a two-session training in the Fall and in the Winter with NWEA professional learning specialist, Tom Terlep:

Part I: Training Data Analysts on September 23rd 2025

Part II: Deciphering Data from Fall MAP Testing on October 16th 2025 

Part III: Training Data Analysts on Winter Reports, March 2nd 2026 – register here

Part IV: Deciphering Data from Winter MAP testing, March 20th, 2026 – register here

All trainings will be at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Tukwila, WA and each one will have a session taking place from 8:30-11:30am and then again from 12:00-3:00pm. The sessions will be identical – attendees will only have to attend one session either in the AM or PM but they must attend a session on each day. Clock hours will be provided to participants. Each school is encouraged to send two participants to the trainings which will help with collaboration and support.

Registration is required – see links above.

Furthermore, Katie Doyle, NWEA Catholic Schools specialist, will be holding three online training sessions for all teachers and administrators to answer questions about testing reports after each testing session throughout the school year. These online trainings will take place on:

  • October 8th – 3:30-4:30pm
  • February 25th – 3:30-4:30pm
  • June 3rd – 3:30-4:30pm

Clock hours will be provided for those attending synchronously. Recordings and resources will be available for these sessions.
