NAEP 2021 School Survey Letter From

NAEP STATE COORDINATOR TO DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Customize or remove red text before mail merging: highlighted text represents mail merge fields


Dear District Superintendent name,


In support of the recent Executive Order Supporting the Reopening and Continuing Operation of Schools and Early Childhood Education Providers, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) will collect data on the status of in-person learning. For this reason, NCES is seeking district name’s participation in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2021 School Survey. The goal of the survey is to provide evidence-based guidance to inform national- and state-level decisionmakers responsible for policy and resources needed to reopen schools for in-person learning. Please note that this study does not require student participation, and involves the same schools selected for the postponed NAEP 2021 assessment.


NCES will administer the survey monthly to gather information about the past month’s grade 4 and 8 student instructional modes and attendance rates through the end of the 2020-21 school year. The status of in-person learning will be disaggregated by student demographics, including race/ethnicity, disability, English learner status and an economic disadvantage indicator. The first iteration of the survey will be collected during the last week of February with subsequent data collections occurring each month until the end of the academic school year. State, large urban districts in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA), and national data, dependent on participation, are planned for release monthly and then as a final report following the end of the data collection.


The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete each month and will be available on the MyNAEP for Schools site. A district or school designee can complete the survey. Please contact me by date if you would like a district designee to complete the monthly survey on behalf of schools included in the attached list. I will provide instructions on how to access the survey and will inform school principals about any district survey support.


More information about the NAEP 2021 School Survey is available on the COVID-19 Planning and Resources - About | NAEP (ed.gov). If you have any questions please contact me at NSC phone or NSC email.


Our chief state school officer, name, supports NAEP and looks forward to your district’s participation. Thank you in advance for supporting this important survey.


Sincerely,


NAEP State Coordinator

The survey, a questionnaire completed by school principals, seeks to provide evidence-based guidance to inform decisionmakers in supporting schools in these challenging times. The survey will require no student or teacher participation.


The NAEP 2021 School Survey will gather information about fourth- and eighth- grade student instructional modes and attendance rates.

NAEP 2021 School Survey Sample Endorsement Letter

From Private School Organization to Private School Administrator

Red text should be customized and letter should be finalized on organization letterhead



Winter 2021



Dear Administrator:


My thoughts are with you and your school community as you continue to strive to meet the challenges of educating children in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, I am writing to encourage you to participate in an important survey that will help us all better understand the impact the pandemic has had on students and educators.


The NAEP 2021 School Survey, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a survey questionnaire administered to school principals or their designees. The survey is designed to collect the data essential to understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students and educators in public and private schools throughout the country, including data on the status of in-person learning. In light of the diverse and creative ways in which private schools have succeeded in maintaining continuity of learning and delivering modes of instruction to meet student and family needs in these challenging times, private school participation in this survey is particularly valuable and important.


Participation in the survey will allow private schools to have a voice and contribute to the vital national conversation on the impact of COVID-19 on education and student learning. If participation benchmarks are met, private school results, including critical metrics such as modes of instruction and student attendance rates, can be reported and compared with those of public schools.

A NAEP representative will contact you to discuss survey details. Please note that no student or teacher participation will be required. NAEP representatives will provide support to school administrators completing the survey questionnaire, and questionnaire completion is expected to take considerably less than one hour of respondent’s time.


For the benefit of the private school community and to provide the most accurate information about the impact of the pandemic on our nation’s schools and students, I strongly urge you to participate.


If you have questions or concerns about participating in the NAEP School Pulse Survey, please contact [private school organization contact person and contact information] OR Mary Erbe at 502-459-0478 or [email protected].



Sincerely,

NAEP Sample Email from Catholic Diocese to Catholic School Administrator

NAEP 2021 School and Teacher Questionnaire Special Study and NAEP 2021 School Survey

Red text should be customized



Dear Administrator,

School name has been selected to represent Catholic schools across our nation by participating in two important and timely studies conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).


NCES will conduct the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2021 School and Teacher Questionnaire Special Study as well as the NAEP 2021 School Survey. These studies are designed to collect the data necessary to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students and educators in both public and private schools throughout the country. Please note that the studies will require no student participation and an expected low burden of respondent’s time.


Catholic schools have a long-standing tradition of achieving very good participation in NAEP studies, which allow NAEP to report results for Catholic schools. Given the extraordinary efforts that you and your staff have expended to maintain continuity of instruction and promote student learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it is particularly important that Catholic schools participate.

A NAEP representative will contact you to discuss details of both of these studies. NAEP representatives will provide considerable support to participating schools.

Thank you for your support of these important studies.



Sincerely,



Diocese Superintendent
