Starting with the 2025–26 school year, the MyPath Assessment and formatives you use today will move from Imagine MyPath to a new product suite: Imagine+ Assessment. This article explains what’s changing, what to expect, and how Imagine Learning will support you through the transition.
What’s changing?
- The MyPath Assessment and formatives will no longer be part of the Imagine MyPath product. Instead, they will be available in Imagine+ Assessment—a new, unified assessment suite for screening, diagnostic, and formative assessments.
- Students and educators will now access diagnostic and formative assessments through the new Imagine+ Assessment product tile.
- MyPath Assessment will become the Imagine+ Diagnostic (for placement and growth measurement).
- Formative assessments will become Imagine+ Formatives (for quick classroom checks and standards-aligned practice).
- Imagine+ Screener (an early literacy and dyslexia screener) is a new product that can be purchased on its own or bundled with the Diagnostic and Formatives.
Note
Existing MyPath customers who use MyPath Assessment for placement into learning paths, or who administered a significant number of formatives this year, will receive complimentary access to Imagine+ Assessment (ELA and/or math) for as long as they continue to renew MyPath. Your Imagine Learning Account Executive can provide details about eligibility, Imagine+ Screener, and licensing options.
Why is this change happening?
This transition streamlines your experience by consolidating all out-of-lesson assessments in one place. Imagine+ Assessment offers:
- Flexible scheduling tools and customizable assessment windows
- Centralized, real-time reporting across schools and classes
- Seamless placement into MyPath learning paths using the Imagine+ Diagnostic
- Broader use cases for formative and diagnostic assessments
What will stay the same?
- The experience within the diagnostic and formative assessments will remain the same for students. Students will continue to see the same types of questions and adaptive test flow as before.
- Integration with NWEA™ MAP® Growth and Renaissance Star® for placement will continue to be supported.
- Access to historical data: You will continue to have access to past assessment data for your students.
- Login credentials: Your existing Imagine Learning credentials will continue to work in Imagine+ Assessment.
What do I need to do?
- No immediate action is needed. Imagine+ Assessment will be enabled automatically for your teachers and students as your organization rolls over to the 2025–26 school year.
- Ensure all students are rostered into both Imagine+ Assessment and MyPath using your preferred rostering method.
- Establish your desired testing windows and schedule the Imagine+ Diagnostic for students to ensure timely placement into MyPath.
- Update your whitelist if needed (system requirements will be similar to MyPath's).
