Appendix D4-5: NAEP 2022 Facts for Districts

NAEP: Fall 2022

Facts for Districts

“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 district participate in NAEP?

Your district’s participation will help ensure that educators, policymakers, and elected officials have reliable data to better understand and improve student learning. Schools and students selected to participate in NAEP 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 fall 2022?

The NAEP long-term trend assessment will be administered via paper and pencil to 13-year-olds between October 10 and December 16, 2022. 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 a survey questionnaire 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 to gather information about school policies and characteristics, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results will be released for the nation.

What will students in my district do?

Participating students will complete subject-area questions in mathematics or reading. Each student will be assessed in one subject only. Students will also complete a survey questionnaire that provides 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 participating students approximately 90 minutes to complete the long-term trend assessment. This includes 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 school administrators and teachers use NAEP data to help our students?

The NAEP Data Explorer (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 (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? What do schools need to provide on the day of the assessment?

NAEP representatives will administer the NAEP assessment and provide significant support to schools 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, including desks or tables.

How were schools in my district selected for NAEP?

Schools were selected as part of a carefully designed sampling process that ensures NAEP-selected schools and students are representative of your 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?

As part of main NAEP, 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.

Appendix D4-6: NAEP 2022 Facts for Teachers- Public and Private

NAEP Fall 2022 Facts for Teachers

What is NAEP?

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an integral measure of academic progress 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, science, technology and engineering literacy, U.S. history, and writing. The program also provides valuable insights into students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn in and outside of the classroom. Elected officials, policymakers, and educators all use NAEP results to develop ways to improve education.

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.

What NAEP assessments will be administered in fall 2022?

Students will also be asked to complete a survey questionnaire. They may answer as many questions as they like and skip any question by leaving a response blank. NAEP survey questionnaires provide valuable information about participating students’ 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. There will be no teacher questionnaire, but a school questionnaire will be administered to gather information about school policies and characteristics, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results will be released for the nation. Learn more about the long-term trend assessments at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ltt.

“As a teacher, my constant focus is to help students make progress in the classroom. NAEP helps with this mission by creating a common measure of student achievement across the country.”

— Iris Garcia, Teacher, Biscayne Elementary Community School, Miami Beach, Florida

What can teachers and students expect?

It takes approximately 90 minutes to complete the long-term trend assessment. This includes transition time, directions and tutorials, and completion of a survey questionnaire. A broad range of accommodations are provided for students with disabilities and English learners. Teachers do not need to prepare their students to take the assessment, but they should encourage students to do their best.

Who will administer NAEP? What do schools need to provide on the day of the assessment?

How are schools and students selected for NAEP?

Schools are selected as part of a carefully designed sampling process that ensures NAEP-selected schools and students are representative of all schools and students across the United States.

How is NAEP different from our state assessment?

NAEP serves a different role than state assessments. While states have their own unique assessments with different content standards, the same NAEP assessment is administered in every state, providing a common measure of student achievement.

NAEP and Teachers

How are teachers essential partners in NAEP?

Schools and students selected to participate in NAEP represent schools and students across the country. Teachers make an important contribution by encouraging their students to participate and to give their best effort; this helps ensure that NAEP results provide the most accurate measure possible of student achievement across the country. To learn more about NAEP and view FAQs for teachers, visit https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/educators/.

Why are students, teachers, and principals asked to complete survey questionnaires?

In addition to subject-area questions, students participating in NAEP are asked to complete a survey questionnaire. Results from the questionnaire help put student achievement results into context, allow for meaningful comparison between student groups, and offer important insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers to better understand students’ educational experiences in the United States.

Teachers of students participating in NAEP are also asked to complete a survey questionnaire. The NAEP teacher survey questionnaire gathers information on teacher training and instructional practices. The questionnaire will be delivered via an online format, but teachers can request a paper-and-pencil version. There is no teacher questionnaire for the long-term trend assessment.

Principals or school administrators of students participating in NAEP are asked to complete a survey questionnaire that provides information about school policies and characteristics. The questionnaire will also be delivered via an online format, but a paper-and-pencil version is available upon request.

To learn more about NAEP survey questionnaires and view student, teacher, and school questionnaires from previous years, visit https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/survey_questionnaires.aspx.

How can teachers use NAEP resources and data to help students?

You can use the NAEP Questions Tool (https://nces.ed. gov/nationsreportcard/nqt) to view released NAEP items and create customized assessments for your classroom. You can compare your students’ performance with their peers in your state and across the nation. Teachers, students, and parents can access information and also compare results for various demographic groups. Most released items include a scoring guide, sample student responses, and performance data.

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 like instructional practices, school resources, and more.

How do the NAEP online dashboards help teachers explore NAEP results and more?

The Achievement Gaps Dashboard lets users explore achievement gaps that reveal significant differences in assessment scores between two groups of students (e.g., male and female students or White and Black students). You can also examine the latest national results in all the NAEP subjects and students’ educational experiences by school type with the new Public, Private, and Charter Schools Dashboard.

View the Achievement Gaps Dashboard at https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/dashboards/achievement_gaps.aspx.

The Public, Private, and Charter Schools Dashboard is available at https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/dashboards/schools_dashboard.aspx.

The Monthly School Survey Dashboard (https://ies.ed.gov/schoolsurvey/) offers a monthly snapshot of learning opportunities (i.e., remote only, hybrid, or full-time in-person instruction) and attendance rates at schools across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey results were collected from February through June 2021.

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 Trial Urban District Assessment (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.

NAEP Results

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 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. Within a school, just some of the student population participates, and student responses are combined with those from other participating students to produce the results.

You can access data from previous assessments at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/naepdata and explore the most recent results at https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/.

As part of main NAEP, students in grades 4 and 8 are scheduled to be assessed at the national and state levels in mathematics and reading every 2 years.

(School Letterhead)

(Insert Date Here)

Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to notify you that (school name) has been selected to represent private schools across the nation by participating in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on (date). NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in public and private schools know and can do in various subjects, and is different from state and school assessments because it provides a common measure of student achievement across the country. It is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. The results are released as The Nation’s Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents, policymakers, and the public.

Your child (will/may) take a mathematics or reading assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete a NAEP survey questionnaire. The questionnaire provides valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom. More information is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “What Questions Are on the Test?”

The assessment takes approximately 90 minutes for most students, including transition time, directions, and completion of the survey questions.

The information collected is used for statistical purposes only.

Your child’s grades will not be affected.
Students may be excused for any reason, are not required to complete the assessment, and may skip any question.
While the assessment is voluntary, NAEP depends on student participation to help policymakers improve education. However, if you do not want your child to participate, please notify me in writing by (date).

There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do their best. Contact (name) at (telephone number) or at (email address) if you have any questions. To learn more about private school participation in NAEP, visit https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/participating/private_nonpublic.aspx.

We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that (school name)’s students will show what our nation’s students in private schools know and can do.

Sincerely,

School Principal

NAEP in Your School: Fall 2022

Age 13 Long-Term Trend Mathematics and Reading

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

What is NAEP?

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?

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 fall 2022?

The NAEP long-term trend assessment will be administered via paper and pencil to 13-year-olds in your school between October 10 and December 16, 2022. 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 a survey questionnaire 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 13-year-olds will complete subject-area questions in mathematics or reading. Each student will be assessed in one subject only. Students will also complete a survey questionnaire that provides 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?

How long has NAEP been around?

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?

Learn more about the NAEP program at nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard, and explore the latest NAEP results at nationsreportcard.gov.

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 13-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 13-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.

What is NAEP?

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an essential measurement of student achievement in the United States.

First administered in 1969, NAEP is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s public and private school students know and can do in various subjects.
The schools and students participating in NAEP make an important contribution by representing other schools and students across the country.
NAEP is a common measure of academic progress across the nation and over time. The results are released as The Nation’s Report Card.

Page 1 Text:

Why participate in NAEP?

Participation in NAEP gives private schools a voice in the national conversation about education. Your school has been selected to represent other private schools across the nation, and it is vital that all selected students participate to accurately capture our students’ progress.

Schools, students, and teachers who participate in NAEP enable The Nation’s Report Card to provide more inclusive representation of what our nation’s students know and can do in key subject areas. NAEP has consistently demonstrated over time and across subjects that students in private schools on average outperform students in public schools.

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.

How will NAEP 2022 be administered in your school?

From October 10 to December 16, 2022, NAEP will be administered in public and private schools across the country. NAEP representatives will administer the NAEP assessment to selected 13-year-old students 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. Schools will only need to provide space for students to take the assessment.

Visit https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/covid19.aspx for more information about NAEP COVID-19 protocols.

Spring 2022

Dear Administrator:

As we prepare to begin another school year, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose significant challenges for schools, students, families, and staff. The Council for American Private Education’s (CAPE) thoughts are with you. I commend you for the extraordinary efforts you and your staff have expended to meet these challenges and address the needs of your entire school community during these last few years. With challenge comes opportunity, and today I am writing to encourage you to participate in the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Your school’s participation helps ensure that the true diversity of our nation’s schools are reflected in NAEP’s results and the performance of private school students can be reported.

CAPE considers NAEP an essential measure of student achievement in the United States. First administered in 1969, NAEP is the largest continuing and nationally representative measure of private and public school student achievement across the country. Your school’s participation will help make it possible for private school data to be reported and contribute to the picture of education across the nation and to future policy decisions. NAEP data have consistently shown, across subjects and over time, that students in private schools on average score higher than students in public schools.

Private schools account for about 24 percent of all schools in the nation and educate approximately 9 percent of all school children across the country. Therefore, it is important that our students' performance be included in all data that describe the condition of education in the United States. With your support, private schools can achieve excellent participation, and private school results can be reported.

For the benefit of the private school community and to provide the most accurate information about student achievement in the United States, I strongly urge you to participate.

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

Sincerely,
