Appendix D3 LTT 2022 Communication Materials

I am pleased to inform you that school name has been selected to represent schools across the nation by participating in the 2022 administration of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in the United States know and can do in various subjects. It is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education.

Students will participate in long-term trend mathematics and reading assessments. Each student will be assessed in one subject only. The data collected from long-term trend can be linked to NAEP assessments conducted since the early 1970s to measure progress over time. National-level results will be released as The Nation’s Report Card. In addition to subject-area questions, students will complete NAEP survey questions that provide valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom.

[Age]-year-old students from your school are scheduled to take the assessment on assessment date. If you have questions or a conflict with the scheduled assessment date, please contact me by date. Otherwise, please place this date on your 2021–2022 school calendar. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, NAEP will continue to adapt to new processes and procedures. For more information about updated NAEP administration plans, please visit our web page at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/covid19.aspx and see the enclosed document, NAEP COVID-19 Protocols.

NAEP 2022 in Your School – [Age 9 OR Age 17] Long-Term Trend Mathematics and Reading

“NAEP is the only assessment providing half a century of performance data to measure what students know and can do. The state and national trends inform local, state, and national program and policy discussions that improve teaching and learning.”

– David Atherton, EdD, Principal, Clear Creek Middle School, Gresham, OR

What is NAEP?

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an integral measure of academic progress across the nation and over time. It is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in various subjects such as civics, mathematics, reading, and U.S. history. The program also provides valuable insights into students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn in and outside of the classroom.

NAEP is a congressionally mandated program administered by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences.

How are NAEP results reported?

The results of NAEP are released as The Nation’s Report Card. Depending on the assessment, NAEP results are available for the nation, states, and select urban districts that participate in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA). Results are also available for different student groups, based on factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, school location, and more. NAEP is not designed to collect or report results for individual students, classrooms, or schools.

Why should my school participate in NAEP?

Your school’s participation will help ensure that you and your fellow educators—as well as policymakers and elected officials—have reliable data to better understand and improve student learning.

Your school and students represent schools and students across the country. When students participate and give their best effort, NAEP results provide the most accurate and representative measure possible of student achievement and experience.

What NAEP assessments will be administered in 2022?

The NAEP long-term trend assessment will be administered via paper and pencil to [9-year-olds OR 17-year-olds] in your school between [date] and [date]. NAEP long-term trend assessments measure student performance in mathematics and reading, and allow the performance of today’s students to be compared with students since the early 1970s. Students will also be asked to complete survey questionnaires to provide a better understanding of factors that may be related to students’ learning. There will be no teacher questionnaire, but a school questionnaire will be administered.

Results will be released for the nation.

What will my students do?

Participating [9-year-olds OR 17-year-olds] will complete subject-area questions in mathematics or reading. Each student will be assessed in one subject only. Students will also complete survey questionnaires that provide valuable information about their educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom, as well as how they have accessed learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It takes approximately 90 minutes for students to complete the paper-based assessment, including transition time, directions, and completion of survey questionnaires. A broad range of accommodations are provided for students with disabilities and English learners.

Do teachers need to prepare students for the assessment?

Teachers do not need to prepare their students to take the assessment but should encourage them to do their best.

How can my teachers and I use NAEP data to help our students?

The NAEP Data Explorer (https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/ndecore) is a powerful tool that allows you to examine the relationships between student performance and factors such as instructional practices, school resources, and more.

Questions from previous NAEP assessments can also be used as a helpful educational resource in the classroom. Teachers can use the NAEP Questions Tool (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/nqt) to see how their students’ performance compares to peers in your state and across the nation. Released NAEP questions come with a scoring guide, sample student responses, and performance data.

Who will administer NAEP in my school? What does my school need to provide on the day of the assessment?

NAEP representatives will administer the NAEP assessment and provide significant support to your school on assessment day. They will wear necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow all school-specific health protocols. NAEP representatives will also bring all necessary materials and equipment. Schools will only need to provide space for students to take the assessment.

More information about roles and responsibilities for coordinating and administering NAEP in your school are on the last page of this fact sheet.

How was my school selected for NAEP?

Your school was selected as part of a carefully designed sampling process that ensures NAEP-selected schools and students are representative of their district, state, and the nation.

How is NAEP different from our state assessment?

NAEP serves a different role than state assessments. While states have their own unique assessments to measure student achievement against specific content standards, NAEP is designed to provide a common measure of student performance and progress across the country.

How long has NAEP been around?

NAEP was first administered in 1969 to measure student achievement nationally. In 1990, NAEP was administered at the state level for the first time. The NAEP TUDA program, which measures student achievement in some of the nation’s large urban districts, began in 2002. The program has come to be recognized as the gold standard of large-scale assessments due to its high technical quality and rigorous design and methodology.

How often is NAEP administered?

Students in grades 4 and 8 are scheduled to be assessed at the state and national levels in mathematics and reading every 2 years. Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, districts and states that receive Title I funds are required to participate in these biennial assessments. Other subjects are assessed periodically. Long-term trend assessments for 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds are also assessed periodically.

Where can I find more information?

Roles and Responsibilities for Coordinating and Administering NAEP

Your NAEP State Coordinator, NAEP representatives, and school staff will work together to coordinate and administer the assessment. You will need to assign a staff member from your school to serve as the school coordinator and work closely with NAEP representatives to organize assessment activities. This person will be the primary contact for the assessment and should be familiar with how students participate in statewide assessments and how to use a computer to collect and enter student information online.

The school coordinator will be responsible for

confirming the scheduled assessment date with the NAEP State Coordinator;
registering for the MyNAEP website and providing information about the school;
if requested, overseeing the submission of an electronic list of [9-year-olds OR 17-year-olds];
using the MyNAEP website to prepare for the assessment;
notifying parents of the assessment (more information will be provided on how to complete this task);
communicating with NAEP representatives and participating in a preassessment review call to finalize assessment preparations;
reserving space for the assessment, including room(s) and desks or tables; and
collaborating with school staff to ensure a high rate of student participation.

Additional information about the school coordinator’s responsibilities will be sent prior to NAEP representatives contacting you.

The NAEP State Coordinator works at your state department of education and will be responsible for

working with schools to confirm the assessment date;
communicating with principals about the importance of NAEP and student participation;
providing schools with instructions for preparing a list of students and information about notifying parents of participating students;
providing guidance for including students with disabilities and English learners; and
responding to questions from the school community throughout the assessment period.

NAEP representatives, employed by a U.S. Department of Education contractor to work directly with schools, will be responsible for

selecting a random sample of [9-year-olds OR 17-year-olds] from the school list;
verifying information that the school coordinator has provided via the MyNAEP website, the online hub for completing school preparation activities throughout the NAEP assessment process;
working with the school coordinator to finalize assessment logistics;
bringing all assessment materials to the school on the scheduled day; and
administering the assessment.

Each principal will be responsible for

assigning a school staff member to serve as the school coordinator;
including the NAEP assessment date on the school calendar;
empowering the designated school coordinator to work with NAEP representatives to prepare for the assessment; and
informing school staff and students about NAEP and why student participation is critically important.
