The NWEA Summer Research Internship Program introduces outstanding Ph.D. graduate students to the organization. Founded by educators over 40 years ago, NWEA is a global not-for-profit educational services organization known for our flagship interim assessment MAP® Growth™. More than 8,000 partners in U.S. schools, school districts, education agencies, and international schools trust us to offer pre-kindergarten through grade 12 assessments that accurately measure student growth and learning needs, professional development that fosters educators’ ability to accelerate student learning, and research that supports assessment validity and data interpretation. To better inform instruction and maximize every learner’s academic growth, educators currently use NWEA assessments with nearly eight million students.
About the Internship…
The Graduate Student Interns provide support to NWEA’s Research Team. The intern selection process is based on matching summer interns and their skills and interests with NWEA research projects. The internship program runs in the summer months only, full-time for a nine-week period. NWEA will compensate $9,000, paid on a weekly schedule for the nine-week period. Compensation is subject to tax. Summer interns have full access to NWEA research facilities, computer hardware and software, and seminar presentations. NWEA reimburses airfare for interns who relocate to Portland for the summer, or airfare for two Portland visits for interns who work remotely. Housing, food, and other personal expenses are the responsibility of the intern.
