Appendix F

Item Library for NAEP 2026 Survey Questionnaires


OMB# 1850-0928 v.36







         May 2025




This Appendix F provides the library of possible items to be used in the NAEP 2026 questionnaires. Non-substantive wording changes to the questionnaire items (based on ongoing and future cognitive and pilot testing results), if any will be made, along with the final selection of which items will be used in the final versions of the NAEP 2026 questionnaires, will be provided as outlined below. The number of items selected for each type of respondent will be appropriate to the allocated time (as indicated in the Supporting Statement Part A section A.12).
Appendix F includes the 2024 NAEP core and subject specific survey questionnaires for students, teachers, and school administrators, which were approved in October 2023 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.31). The final survey questionnaires for 2026 will be included in Appendices J1, J2, J3 and J-S in either Amendment #1 (Spring 2025), Amendment #2 (August/September 2025), or some combination of both Amendments. Updates to the race and ethnicity items, in compliance with the updated SPD 15 standards, will be included in Amendments #1 or #2. System login screens will also be updated in upcoming Amendments to the Clearance Package.
Important changes in how we collect demographic information will be reflected in the 2026 instruments when they are ready for publication and review. In March 2024, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced revisions to Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15) and published the revised SPD15 standard in the Federal Register (89 FR 22182). See Part A.7 of this package to see how NCES plans to incorporate these revisions into NAEP 2026. Further, as we were preparing this package for 30D publication, the White House issued an Executive Orders “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” (January 20, 2025) and “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” (January 20, 2025). In compliance with these Executive Orders, the materials in this package have been modified. In addition, a full review of all items is being conducted to ensure compliance with the Executive Orders. The revised questionnaires will be included in the next Amendments to this package. No collections of this information will take place before the submission and approval of Amendment #2.
