Instructional areas and sub-areas are derived from the structure of state academic standards. The general
content areas that appear across grade levels in a set of standards become the instructional areas. Instructional
areas (left column in charts below) are further divided into common instructional sub-areas (right column).
Content Specialists align items from the Northwest Evaluation Association™ (NWEA™) item bank to these
standards. The Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) assessments and associated reports for teachers and
students are based upon this alignment and grouping of standards.
