Maine Through-Year Assessment is Maine’s state assessment program delivered with NWEA MAP Growth item pools and through-year administration. The public sources identify it as a Maine DOE assessment aligned to Common Core State Standards in math, but Maine uses its own through-year blueprint rather than a separate national framework.
No official per-domain item weighting was located in the Maine DOE public assessment posts or the cited pages. The public Maine DOE materials emphasize a through-year model with fall-to-spring growth measurement rather than a published domain-by-domain blueprint.
