  2. What Do We Know About Student Achievement? A National Snapshot

  3. Good News in Early Grades:NAEP Trends 2005 • Continued Gains for all groups, and • Progress in closing gaps among groups • MOMENTUM

  4. Not Much Traction in High Schools

  5. 12th Grade Achievement In Math and Science is Up Somewhat

  6. High School Achievement: Math and Science NAEP Long-Term Trends Source: NAEP 1999 Trends in Academic Progress.

  7. In Reading, 12th Grade Achievement is Headed Downward

  8. HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT: READING AND WRITINGNAEP Long-Term Trends

  9. What about different groups of students?During seventies and eighties, much progress.

  12. Between 1988-90, that progress came to a halt…and gaps began to widen once again.

  43. But instead of organizing our system to ameliorate these problems, we organize it to exacerbate them. As a result, gaps grow wider and wider as student progress through the grades.
