  2. What is NAEP? • The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in core subjects. • A survey designed to produce national, state, and select urban district level results. • NAEP results are for populations of students, not for individual students nor schools. • Measures student performance nationally and reports changes over time. • Allows comparisons between states and the nation.

  3. NAEP Administration • NAEP is administered over a six-week period. • For 2011: January 24th – March 4th • About 3,000 students in approximately 100 schools are selected in Iowa and other states for each grade and subject. • Each student is only assessed in one subject area. • Accommodations are provided as necessary for students with disabilities and English language learners.

  4. NAEP Results • The results of NAEP are released as The Nation’s Report Card. • The report card provides national, state, and district-level results, results for different demographic groups, inclusion information, and sample questions. • NAEP Results are reported in two formats • Average Scale Scores • Numeric scale • 0 − 500 on mathematics and reading assessments • Scores cannot be compared across content areas • Achievement Levels • Categorical scale • Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, Advanced
