Appendix D2 NAEP 2022 Communication Materials Part 2

“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 2022?

The 2022 program will include grade-based assessments—referred to as main NAEP—for grades 4 and 8, as well as the long-term trend assessment for [9-year-olds OR 17-year-olds]. The table below provides further information.

Age or Grade	Type of NAEP assessment	Subject	Format	Assessment Window
Grade 4	Main	Mathematics Reading	Tablet	January 24–March 4, 2022
Grade 8	Main	Civics Mathematics Reading U.S. History	Tablet	January 24–March 4, 2022
[Age 9 OR Age 17]	Long-term trend	Mathematics Reading	Paper and Pencil	[date]

Results will be released at the national, state, and select urban district levels for the mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8. National results will be released for the civics and U.S. history assessments at grade 8 and the long-term trend assessment at [age 9 OR age 17].

Students, teachers, and principals participating in main NAEP will also be asked to complete survey questionnaires to provide a better understanding of factors that may be related to students’ learning. There is no teacher questionnaire in the long-term trend assessment, but a school questionnaire will be administered.

What will students in my districts do?

Participating students will complete subject-area questions in civics, mathematics, reading, or U.S. history. 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 participating students approximately 2 hours to complete main NAEP assessments and 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 (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? 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, including sanitized tablets with keyboards. Schools will only need to provide space for students to take the assessment, desks or tables, and an adequate number of electrical outlets in the assessment location. Schools will not need to provide internet access.

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.

NAEP is an integral part of education in the United States.

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.
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.
Depending on the type of NAEP assessment that is administered, the data can be used to compare and understand the performance of demographic groups within your state, the nation, other states, and districts that participate in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA). NAEP is not designed to collect or report results for individual students, classrooms, or schools.
To provide a better understanding of educational experiences and factors that may be related to students’ learning, students, teachers, and principals who participate in NAEP are asked to complete survey questionnaires.

The results of NAEP are released as The Nation’s Report Card.

What can principals and schools expect?

NAEP representatives will provide significant support to your school on assessment day. As principals, you make an important contribution to the program by selecting and empowering a NAEP school coordinator, meeting with teachers and participating students, and encouraging your students to participate and do their best. You are essential partners in NAEP. When students participate and give their best effort, NAEP results provide the most accurate measure possible of student achievement across the country.

In 2021, the NAEP mathematics and reading assessments will be administered on sanitized tablets to students at grades 4 and 8. Results will be released at the national and state levels. Each student will be assessed in only one subject.

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 out of the classroom. NCES is exploring the possibility of an online survey questionnaire for students participating in distance learning and will work closely with schools to administer the questionnaire to remote students.

NAEP representatives will bring all necessary materials and equipment, including tablets with keyboards, to schools on assessment day. Schools will only need to provide space for students to take the assessment, desks or tables, and an adequate number of electrical outlets in the assessment location—schools will not need to provide internet access.

NAEP was first administered in 1969 to measure student achievement nationally. In 1990, NAEP was administered at the state level for the first time. Students in grades 4 and 8 are currently assessed at the national and state level in mathematics and reading every two years and in other subjects periodically. The NAEP TUDA program, which measures student achievement in some of the nation’s large urban districts, began in 2002.

Why is NAEP considered the gold standard? From the development of assessment frameworks and questions to the reporting of results, NAEP delivers high technical quality and represents the best thinking of assessment and content specialists, state education staff, and teachers from around the nation. NAEP is a trusted resource that measures student progress and helps inform policy decisions that improve education in the United States.

How are NAEP results reported? NAEP results are reported for different demographic groups rather than for individual students 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.

How are schools and students selected for NAEP? A carefully designed sampling process ensures that NAEP-selected schools and students are representative of all schools and students in their district, state, and across the United States. To ensure that the sample represents all students in the nation’s schools, a broad range of accommodations are allowed for students with disabilities and English language learners.

What can teachers and students expect? Including transition time, directions and tutorials, and completion of survey questions, it takes approximately 2 hours for students to complete the assessment. Teachers do not need to prepare their students to take the assessment but should encourage them to do their best. NAEP representatives provide significant support to your school by working with the designated coordinator in your school to organize assessment activities.

How can educators use NAEP data to help students? NAEP items can be used as a helpful educational resource in the classroom. Teachers and district staff can use the NAEP Questions Tool (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/nqt) to see how students’ performance compares nationally on specific items. Released NAEP items come with a scoring guide, sample student responses, and performance data.

Appendix D2-3: NAEP 2022 Notification Letter from Chief State School Officer to District Superintendent (Approved v.23)

NAEP 2022 Notification Letter From

CHIEF STATE SCHOOL OFFICER TO DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Red text should be customized before mail merge: highlighted text represents mail merge fields

Dear District Superintendent name,

I am pleased to notify you that number schools in your district have been selected to participate 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. Selected schools represent schools across state name and the nation, and their participation provides an accurate picture of student performance. School District will play an important role by participating, and I hope that we can count on your full support to make this a meaningful experience for your schools and students.

Selected schools will be notified soon and will receive their assessment dates starting in month, so that principals can include the scheduled assessment on their calendars and incorporate NAEP into the planned school program. Schools may work with the NAEP State Coordinator if there is a conflict with the scheduled assessment date. A few additional schools within School District may also be selected at a later date; your NAEP State Coordinator will contact you should this happen.

The NAEP 2022 administration will include three assessment programs. The attached list shows the assessment program for each selected school in School District.

[Dates]
- National long-term trend mathematics and reading assessments: age [age]
January 24 to March 4, 2022
- State-level mathematics and reading assessments: grades 4 and 8
- National civics and U.S. history assessments: grade 8

National results for all assessments will be released as The Nation’s Report Card. State-level results, and in some cases, district-level results will also be reported for the mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8. Most students will take the assessments on sanitized tablets provided by NAEP representatives, while students participating in long-term trend mathematics and reading will take the assessments via paper and pencil. The age 17 long-term trend assessments were originally planned for the 2020 calendar year, but were postponed due to widespread school closures. The data collected from long-term trend can be linked to NAEP assessments conducted since the early 1970s to measure progress over time.

As in previous years, NAEP representatives provide significant support to schools by administering the assessment and bringing all necessary materials and equipment, including sanitized tablets on which students take the assessment. NAEP representatives’ top priority is to protect the health and safety of students and school staff. For more information about updated NAEP administration plans and COVID-19 protocols, please visit our web page at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/covid19.aspx and see the enclosed document.

Appendix D2-9: NAEP in Your School 2022 (Approved v.23)

NAEP 2022 in Your School – Grades 4 and 8 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 2022?

NAEP mathematics and reading assessments will be administered on tablets to students at grades 4 and 8 between January 24 and March 4, 2022. Students, teachers, and principals will also be asked to complete survey questionnaires to provide a better understanding of factors that may be related to students’ learning.

Results will be released for the nation, states, and select urban districts.

What will my students do?

Participating fourth- and eighth-graders 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 2 hours for students to complete the 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?

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, including sanitized tablets with keyboards. Schools will only need to provide space for students to take the assessment, desks or tables, and an adequate number of electrical outlets in the assessment location. Schools will not need to provide internet access.

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.

Where can I find more information?

NAEP 2022 Sample Endorsement Letter

From Council for American Private Education (CAPE) to Private School Administrator

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

Fall 2021

Dear Administrator:

As we 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 this last year. 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 25 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,

[Name]

2021 State Guide to NAEP Participation

Page One Body

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often called The Nation’s Report Card, is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in the United States know and are able to do in various subjects. Since 1969, NAEP has been a common measure of student achievement across the country in mathematics, reading, science, writing, and many other subjects. Depending on the assessment, NAEP report cards provide national, state, and some district-level results, as well as results for different demographic groups. Federal and state policymakers, educators, and researchers use NAEP results to assess student progress and develop ways to improve education across the country and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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

This publication provides an overview of the NAEP 2021 assessments for state officials to promote understanding of the activities that will take place during the assessment cycle.

Additional information on the NAEP program and its data collection process is available from NAEP State Coordinators and through the NAEP website at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard.

Pages Two–Three Body

NAEP State Participation

Since its inception, NAEP has been a partnership between the federal government and the states, and states have continued to support NAEP national assessments through their schools’ participation. In 1990, NAEP was administered at the state level for the first time. Since then, states have had the opportunity to receive results in mathematics, reading, science, and writing at grades 4 and 8, allowing for comparisons over time to the nation and other states. Beginning in 2003, all states have participated in the state NAEP mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8.

The NAEP 2021 Assessment Program

The 2021 NAEP program will include digitally based assessments, administered on tablets, in mathematics and reading at grades 4 and 8. NAEP representatives will bring all necessary materials and equipment to schools. Schools will not need to provide internet access.

In 2021, state-level data will be collected in mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8. Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Reauthorization of 2001 and continuing with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which was signed into law in December 2015, state applications for Title I funds must include an assurance that states will participate in the biennial NAEP mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8 and that state results will be reported.

Additional information about the NAEP program and the data collection process is available from your state’s NAEP State Coordinator and through the NAEP website at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard.

Page Four Body

School and Student Participation

The NAEP 2021 state assessments will be administered to representative state samples of public school students in grades 4 and 8.

The NAEP contractor responsible for sampling and data collection will draw the sample for each state from the Common Core of Data (CCD), an NCES program that annually collects fiscal and other data about all public schools, public school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The NAEP State Coordinator ensures the list of schools is current. As appropriate, demographic variables of racial and ethnic composition, type of school location, and school achievement on state assessments are used to help define which schools are selected within each state.

Within selected schools, students are randomly selected from a list of all students enrolled

in the grade(s) to be assessed. The NAEP contractor works directly with the NAEP state and district coordinators on the submission of the student lists.

Parent Notification

Federal law requires that parents or legal guardians of students selected for the NAEP sample be notified about the assessment and informed that they may choose not to allow their children to participate. NAEP State Coordinators are responsible for ensuring that districts or schools provide this information to all parents of students selected to participate in NAEP. Sample letters will be provided to NAEP State Coordinators for tailoring to state needs.

NAEP 2021 Mathematics and Reading Assessment Content

Each NAEP assessment is based on a framework that describes the specific knowledge and skills that should be assessed. The National Assessment Governing Board oversees the creation of NAEP frameworks, with input from subject matter experts, practitioners, and members of the general public—including researchers, educators, business leaders, and policymakers. NAEP frameworks also describe the types of questions that should be included and how they should be designed and scored. NAEP frameworks are available at the National Assessment Governing Board website at https://www.nagb.gov.

The mathematics framework for NAEP 2021 is the same framework that has been used since 2005 for mathematics assessments at grades 4 and 8. This framework, approved by the National Assessment Governing Board, replaces the framework first used for the 1990 mathematics assessment and subsequent mathematics assessments through 2005. Trends in student performance for participating states can be measured since 1992 for grade 4 and 1990 for grade 8.

The mathematics framework calls for questions based on five content areas: number properties and operations; measurement; geometry; data analysis, statistics, and probability; and algebra. Questions are also categorized according to mathematical complexity (low, moderate, or high), which describes what level of cognitive demand is required for students to answer each question correctly.

Students respond to both multiple-choice and constructed-response questions designed to assess the framework objectives.

The reading framework for NAEP 2021 is the same framework that has been used since the 2009 reading assessments at grades 4 and 8. This is the second reading framework approved by the National Assessment Governing Board and replaces the framework first used for the 1992 reading assessment and subsequent reading assessments through 2007. Trends in state achievement for participating states can be measured since 1992 for grades 4 and 8.

The reading framework specifies two types of texts be included on the assessment: literary texts and informational texts. The framework also specifies that vocabulary knowledge will be assessed. Vocabulary items function both as a measure of passage comprehension and as a test of readers’ understanding of how the text influences the meaning of the word. The framework also specifies three cognitive targets, or behaviors and skills, for items from both literary and informational texts: locate/recall, integrate/interpret, and critique/evaluate. To measure these cognitive skills, students respond to both multiple-choice and constructed-response items.

Page Five Body

NAEP Reports and Release of Results

Prior to NCES’s release of the NAEP 2021 national and state results, NAEP State Coordinators will receive selected data for review, which will include inclusion rates and demographic data. Because state participation is mandatory for the mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8, no formal approval process is required for results to be published; a state is deemed to have given its permission to release its results if the state has submitted an application for Title I funds.

Results for each participating state will be analyzed and reported in a manner that permits comparisons both over time and to other participating states and the nation. To prepare for the release, NCES works with NAEP State Coordinators to analyze the data and assist in understanding the results.

The National Assessment Governing Board facilitates the initial public release of NAEP reports and determines the date and time for the release. To assist state participation in the release of the results, each state will be given the date and time of the national release so that state releases can be coordinated with the release of national and state NAEP results.

States may prepare and release reports of their state NAEP results either concurrently with or subsequent to the official public release.

All assessment results are embargoed until the time of the national release of the NAEP data by the NCES commissioner. This means that no individual or party may share or disclose NAEP results prior to the initial public release of NAEP reports by NCES.

NAEP 2022 Información para los distritos

"NAEP es la única evaluación que proporciona medio siglo de datos de rendimiento para medir lo que los estudiantes saben y pueden hacer. Las tendencias estatales y nacionales orientan las discusiones de programas y políticas locales, estatales y nacionales que mejoran la enseñanza y el aprendizaje ".

- David Atherton, Doctor en educación, Clear Creek Middle School, Greshan, Oregón

¿Qué es NAEP?

La Evaluación Nacional del Progreso Educativo (NAEP, por sus siglas en inglés) es una medida integral del progreso educativo en toda la nación y a lo largo del tiempo. Es la evaluación continua y nacionalmente representativa más grande que mide lo que los estudiantes de nuestro país saben y pueden hacer en diferentes materias, tales como educación cívica, matemáticas, lectura e historia de Estados Unidos. El programa también proporciona información valiosa sobre las experiencias educativas de los estudiantes y las oportunidades de aprendizaje dentro y fuera del salón de clases.

NAEP es un proyecto autorizado por el Congreso y administrado por el Centro Nacional para Estadísticas de la Educación (NCES, por sus siglas en inglés), parte del Departamento de Educación de Estados Unidos y el Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación. NAEP requiere que Puerto Rico participe solo en la evaluación de matemáticas. El Departamento de Educación de los Estados Unidos eximió a Puerto Rico de participar en la evaluación de lectura, ya que esta mide la capacidad de un estudiante para leer inglés, sin embargo, el español es el idioma de instrucción en Puerto Rico.

¿Cómo se informan los resultados de NAEP?

Los resultados de NAEP se publican en un informe llamado la Libreta de Calificaciones de la Nación. Dependiendo de la evaluación, los resultados de NAEP están disponibles a nivel nacional, estatal y para determinados distritos urbanos que participan en la Evaluación Piloto de Distritos Urbanos (TUDA, por sus siglas en inglés). También hay resultados disponibles de diferentes grupos de estudiantes con base en factores como la raza/grupo étnico, el género y la ubicación de la escuela, entre otros. NAEP no está diseñada para recopilar o informar los resultados individuales de estudiantes, salones de clase o escuelas.

¿Por qué mi distrito debería participar en NAEP?

La participación de su distrito ayudará a asegurar que los educadores, los legisladores y los funcionarios electos tengan datos confiables para entender y mejorar la educación de los estudiantes. Las escuelas y los estudiantes seleccionados para participar en NAEP representan a las escuelas y a los estudiantes de todo el país. Cuando los estudiantes participan y dan su mejor esfuerzo, los resultados de NAEP proporcionan la medida más precisa y representativa posible sobre el rendimiento y las experiencias de los estudiantes.

¿Qué evaluaciones de NAEP se administrarán en 2022?

Las evaluaciones de matemáticas de NAEP se administrarán en tabletas a los estudiantes de 4.° y 8.° grado entre el 24 de enero y el 4 de marzo de 2022.

Los resultados se darán a conocer a nivel nacional, estatal y para determinados distritos urbanos.

A los estudiantes, maestros y directores que participan en NAEP también se les pedirá que completen cuestionarios de contexto para comprender mejor los factores que pueden estar relacionados con el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

¿Qué harán los estudiantes en mi distrito?

Los estudiantes que participan en la evaluación responderán a preguntas de matemáticas. Los estudiantes también completarán cuestionarios de contexto que proporcionan información valiosa sobre sus experiencias educativas y sus oportunidades de aprendizaje tanto dentro como fuera del salón de clases, así como la manera en que han accedido al aprendizaje durante la pandemia del COVID-19.

A los estudiantes les toma aproximadamente 2 horas completar la evaluación, incluyendo el tiempo de transición, las instrucciones y el tiempo que toma contestar los cuestionarios de contexto. Se ofrece una amplia gama de acomodos para los estudiantes con impedimentos y para aprendices del español.

¿Es necesario que los maestros preparen a los estudiantes para la evaluación?

Los maestros no tienen que preparar a sus estudiantes para tomar la evaluación, pero sí deben motivarlos a que hagan su mejor esfuerzo

¿Cómo pueden los administradores escolares y los maestros utilizar los datos de NAEP para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes?

El explorador de datos, NAEP Data Explorer, (https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/ndecore) es una poderosa herramienta que permite examinar las relaciones entre el rendimiento de los estudiantes y factores tales como las prácticas de enseñanza y los recursos escolares, entre otros.

Las preguntas de evaluaciones de NAEP anteriores también pueden utilizarse como un recurso educativo útil en el salón de clases. Los maestros pueden utilizar la herramienta NAEP Questions Tool (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/nqt) para ver cómo se compara el rendimiento de sus estudiantes con el de otros estudiantes en su estado y en todo el país. Las preguntas de NAEP publicadas incluyen una guía de puntuación, ejemplos de respuestas de los estudiantes y datos de rendimiento.

¿Quién administrará NAEP? ¿Qué deben proporcionar las escuelas el día de la evaluación?

Los representantes de NAEP administrarán la evaluación y proporcionarán un importante apoyo a su escuela el día de la evaluación. Ellos llevarán el equipo de protección personal (EPP) necesario y seguirán todos los protocolos sanitarios específicos de la escuela. Los representantes de NAEP también llevarán todos los materiales y equipos necesarios, incluyendo tabletas con teclados que han sido desinfectadas. Las escuelas solo tendrán que proporcionar espacio para que los estudiantes tomen la evaluación, pupitres o mesas y una cantidad adecuada de enchufes eléctricos en el lugar de la evaluación. Las escuelas no tendrán que proporcionar acceso a Internet.

¿Cómo se seleccionaron las escuelas de mi distrito para NAEP?

Las escuelas fueron seleccionadas como parte de un proceso de muestreo cuidadosamente diseñado que garantiza que las escuelas y los estudiantes seleccionados para NAEP representan a su distrito, al estado y a la nación.

¿En qué se diferencia NAEP de nuestra evaluación estatal?

NAEP cumple una función diferente a la de las evaluaciones estatales. Mientras que los estados tienen sus propias evaluaciones para medir el rendimiento de los estudiantes con respecto a estándares de contenido específicos, NAEP está diseñada para proporcionar una medida común del rendimiento y el progreso de los estudiantes en todo el país.

¿Desde cuándo existe NAEP?

NAEP se administró por primera vez en 1969 para medir el rendimiento de los estudiantes a nivel nacional. En 1990, NAEP se administró por primera vez a nivel estatal. El programa es reconocido como el estándar de oro de las evaluaciones a gran escala debido a su alta calidad técnica y a su riguroso diseño y metodología.

¿Con qué frecuencia se administra NAEP?

Como parte de la programación principal de NAEP, los estudiantes de 4.° y 8.° grado son evaluados a nivel estatal y nacional en matemáticas y lectura cada dos años. Según la Ley de Educación Primaria y Secundaria, los distritos y estados que reciben fondos del Título I están obligados a participar en estas evaluaciones bienales, con la excepción de Puerto Rico, que está exento de participar en la evaluación de lectura.

NAEP es una parte esencial de la educación en Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

Los funcionarios electos, los legisladores y los educadores usan los resultados de NAEP para desarrollar maneras de mejorar la educación.
NAEP es un proyecto autorizado por el Congreso y administrado por el Centro Nacional para Estadísticas de la Educación, parte del Departamento de Educación de Estados Unidos y el Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación.
NAEP desempeña un papel diferente al de las evaluaciones estatales. Si bien cada estado tiene su propia y única evaluación, con diferentes estándares de contenido, la misma evaluación NAEP se administra en cada estado, proporcionando una medida común de los logros de los estudiantes.
Dependiendo del tipo de evaluación NAEP que se administre, los datos se pueden usar para comparar y entender el rendimiento de grupos demográficos en su estado, en el país, y en otros estados. NAEP no está diseñada para recolectar o informar los resultados individuales de ningún estudiante, clase o escuela.
A los estudiantes, maestros y directores que participan en NAEP se les pide que completen cuestionarios que proporcionan una mayor comprensión de las experiencias educativas y de los factores que podrían estar relacionados con el aprendizaje estudiantil.

¿Qué pueden esperar los directores y las escuelas?

Como directores, ustedes hacen una contribución importante al programa al seleccionar y facultar al coordinador escolar de NAEP, al reunirse con los maestros y estudiantes participantes y al animar a sus estudiantes a participar y a que hagan su mejor esfuerzo. Ustedes son aliados fundamentales para NAEP. Cuando los estudiantes participan en la evaluación y hacen su mejor esfuerzo, los resultados de NAEP proporcionan la medición más exacta posible del rendimiento estudiantil en todo el país.

En el 2021, la evaluación de matemáticas de NAEP se administrará en tabletas a los estudiantes de 4° y 8° grado.

Además de las preguntas correspondientes a cada materia, los estudiantes completarán cuestionarios de contexto de NAEP que proporcionan información valiosa sobre sus experiencias educativas y las oportunidades que tienen para aprender tanto dentro como fuera del salón de clases. NCES está explorando la posibilidad de crear un cuestionario de contexto en línea para los estudiantes que están participando en el aprendizaje a distancia y trabajará en estrecha colaboración con las escuelas para administrar este cuestionario a los estudiantes a distancia.

El día de la evaluación los representantes de NAEP llevarán a las escuelas todos los materiales y equipos desinfectados necesarios, incluyendo las tabletas con teclados. Las escuelas únicamente tendrán que proporcionar espacio para que los estudiantes tomen la evaluación, pupitres o mesas, y una cantidad adecuada de enchufes eléctricos en el lugar de la evaluación; las escuelas no tienen que proporcionar acceso a Internet.

NAEP se administró por primera vez en 1969 para medir el rendimiento estudiantil a nivel nacional. En 1990, NAEP se administró a nivel estatal por primera vez. Actualmente se evalúa a los estudiantes de 4.° y 8.° grado a nivel nacional y estatal en matemáticas y lectura cada 2 años, y en otras materias de manera periódica.

¿Por qué se le considera a NAEP el estándar de oro? Desde el desarrollo de los marcos teóricos y las preguntas de la evaluación hasta la publicación de los resultados, NAEP ofrece una alta calidad técnica y representa las mejores ideas de especialistas de evaluación y de contenido, del personal estatal de educación y de maestros de todo el país. NAEP es un recurso confiable que mide el progreso estudiantil y que contribuye a informar la toma de decisiones sobre políticas que mejoren la educación de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

¿Cómo se informan los resultados de NAEP? NAEP informa los resultados de distintos grupos demográficos en vez de los resultados individuales de estudiantes o escuelas. En una escuela, solamente algunos de los estudiantes participan y las respuestas de los estudiantes se combinan con las de otros estudiantes participantes para producir los resultados.

¿Cómo se seleccionan las escuelas y los estudiantes para NAEP? Un proceso de muestreo cuidadosamente diseñado garantiza que las escuelas y los estudiantes seleccionados para NAEP representan a todas las escuelas y estudiantes en Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. Para asegurar que la muestra represente a todos los estudiantes en las escuelas del país, NAEP permite una gran variedad de acomodos para estudiantes con impedimentos y estudiantes con limitaciones lingüísticas en español.

¿Qué pueden esperar los maestros y estudiantes? Incluyendo el tiempo de transición, las instrucciones y tutoriales y el contestar un cuestionario de contexto, a los estudiantes les toma aproximadamente 2 horas completar la evaluación. Los maestros no tienen que preparar a sus estudiantes para que tomen la evaluación, pero sí deben motivarlos a que hagan su mejor esfuerzo. Los representantes de NAEP le brindan un gran apoyo a su escuela al trabajar con el coordinador escolar designado para organizar las actividades de la evaluación.

¿En qué se diferencia NAEP de nuestra evaluación estatal?

¿Desde cuándo existe NAEP?

¿Con qué frecuencia se realiza la NAEP?

Actualmente, los estudiantes de 4.° y 8.° grado son evaluados a nivel estatal y nacional en matemáticas y lectura cada dos años. Según la Ley de Educación Primaria y Secundaria, los distritos y estados que reciben fondos del Título I están obligados a participar en estas evaluaciones bienales, con la excepción de Puerto Rico, que está exento de participar en la evaluación de lectura.

Funciones y responsabilidades para coordinar y administrar NAEP

Su Coordinador(a) Estatal de NAEP, los representantes de NAEP y el personal de la escuela trabajarán en equipo para coordinar y administrar la evaluación. Usted deberá asignar a un miembro del personal de su escuela para ser el coordinador(a) escolar y para trabajar estrechamente con los representantes de NAEP para organizar las actividades de la evaluación. Esta persona será el contacto principal para la evaluación y deberá estar familiarizada con la manera en que los estudiantes participan en evaluaciones estatales y dominar el uso de una computadora para recopilar e ingresar información de los estudiantes por Internet.

El coordinador escolar se encargará de:

confirmar la fecha programada para la evaluación con el Coordinador Estatal de NAEP;
registrarse en el sitio web MyNAEP y proporcionar información acerca de la escuela;
usar la página web MyNAEP para prepararse para la evaluación;
notificar a los padres de familia acerca de la evaluación (se proporcionará más información acerca de cómo completar esta tarea);
comunicarse con el representante de NAEP y participar en una visita de revisión antes de la evaluación para finalizar los preparativos para la evaluación;
reservar el espacio para la evaluación, incluyendo salones, pupitres o mesas y una cantidad adecuada de enchufes eléctricos en el lugar de la evaluación (la escuela no tendrá que facilitar acceso a Internet); y
colaborar con el personal de la escuela para asegurar una tasa alta de participación estudiantil.

A principios del año escolar se enviará información adicional sobre las responsabilidades del coordinador escolar.

El Coordinador Estatal de NAEP trabaja en su Departamento de Educación estatal y se encargará de:

trabajar con las escuelas para confirmar la fecha de la evaluación;
comunicarse con los directores escolares acerca de la importancia de NAEP y de la participación de los estudiantes;
proporcionarles a las escuelas la información para que notifiquen a los padres de los estudiantes participantes;
orientar a las escuelas acerca de cómo incluir a estudiantes con impedimentos y a estudiantes aprendices del español; y
responder a las preguntas de la comunidad escolar durante el periodo de evaluación.

Los representantes de NAEP, quienes son empleados por un contratista del Departamento de Educación de Estados Unidos para trabajar directamente con las escuelas, se encargarán de:

seleccionar una muestra aleatoria de la lista de estudiantes de cuarto y octavo grado que proporcione la escuela;
verificar la información que el coordinador escolar haya proporcionado en el sitio web MyNAEP, la cual será la principal fuente de información y centro de actividades durante el proceso de evaluación de NAEP;
trabajar con el coordinador escolar para finalizar la logística de la evaluación;
el día de la evaluación, llevar todos los materiales necesarios a la escuela; y
administrar la evaluación.

Cada director se encargará de:

designar a un miembro del personal de la escuela para ser el coordinador escolar;
incluir la evaluación NAEP en el calendario escolar;
facultar al coordinador escolar designado para que trabaje con el representante de NAEP y el Coordinador Estatal de NAEP en la preparación para la evaluación; e
informar al personal de la escuela y a los estudiantes acerca de NAEP y el por qué la participación de los estudiantes es sumamente importante.

NAEP es la evaluación continua y nacionalmente representativa más grande acerca de lo que los estudiantes saben y pueden hacer en diferentes materias. NAEP es diferente de nuestras evaluaciones estatales ya que ofrece una medida común de los logros en todo el país. NAEP es administrada por el Centro Nacional de Estadísticas de la Educación (NCES, por sus siglas en inglés), parte del Departamento de Educación de Estados Unidos. Los resultados se publican en un informe llamado La Libreta de Calificaciones de la Nación, el cual les proporciona información a los educadores, padres, legisladores y al público acerca de los logros de los estudiantes.

Su hijo(a) (tomará/posiblemente tome) una evaluación de matemáticas. Además de las preguntas sobre matemáticas, los estudiantes contestan los cuestionarios de contexto de NAEP de manera voluntaria.

Puede encontrar más información acerca de los cuestionarios de NAEP en https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents/spanish.aspx en la sección “¿Qué se le preguntará a su hijo(a)?”
