Diagnostic assessment in math and reading. Requires teachers to upload data, which in practice, often doesn't get uploaded. The focus is on analysis for a school or district, less so on individual student recommendations. DORA provides a better diagnosis on the individual student level, and answers why the student may be having difficulties. NWEA doesn't provide instruction, but MAP is now linked to instruction available from CompassLearning. See detailed competitive analysis and product evaluation below. This will give you a good side by side comparison of DORA and MAP.

We used maps. School dropped it because it didn't give us enough diagnostic info. Yes, it was hard to use. Most teachers didn't use it correctly.
