The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, technology and engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Public Law 107-279 Title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (including the National Indian Education Study (NIES), the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.
The request to conduct NAEP in 2024 (OMB#1850-0928 v.28) was approved in March 2023. Since that packageâs submission for public comment and OMB review, NCES has canceled the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS) due to budgetary limitations. This is the first of three additional 30-day packages to be submitted in March, May, and August 2023 in order to update all materials in time for the data collection in early 2024. This revision updates the scope of Part A to remove all references to the MSTS, Appendix D2 to include early communication materials in both English and Spanish, and Appendices J1, J2, J3, and J-S to include the initial operational survey questionnaires (SQ) (not including COVID-19 Learning Recovery SQs, Pilot, or NIES, as those will be in Amendments #2 and #3). A detailed revision memo is included to assist readers in understanding the changes proposed in this package. There have been no changes to the burden or costs to the Federal Government in this Amendment #1.
