This book was released on 2012 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the ongoing national indicator of what American students know and can do, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Reading regularly collects achievement information on representative samples of students in grades 4, 8, and 12. Through The Nation's Report Card, the NAEP Reading Assessment reports how well students perform in reading various texts and responding to those texts by answering multiple-choice and instructed-response questions. The information NAEP provides about student achievement helps the public, educators, and policymakers understand strengths and weaknesses in student performance and make informed decisions about education. The 2013 NAEP Reading Assessment will measure national, regional, state, and sub-group achievement in reading but is not designed to report individual student or school performance. The assessment will measure students' reading comprehension and their ability to apply vocabulary knowledge to assist them in comprehending what they read. The reading assessment will use the same framework used in 2009. This document, the "Reading Framework for the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress," presents the conceptual base for, and discusses the content of, the assessment. It is intended for a broad audience. A more detailed technical document, the "Reading Assessment and Item Specifications for the National Assessment of Educational Progress," is available on the Web. The specifications will provide information to guide passage selection, item development, and other aspects of test development. The Governing Board, the policymaking body for NAEP, has stated that the NAEP Reading Assessment will measure reading comprehension by asking students to read passages written in English and to answer questions about what they have read. The NAEP Reading Framework results from the work of many individuals and organizations involved in reading and reading education, including researchers, policymakers, educators, and other members of the public. Their work was guided by scientifically based literacy research that conceptualizes reading as a dynamic cognitive process as reflected in the following definition of reading. Appended are: (1) Glossary of terms; (2) NAEP Reading Achievement Level Definitions; and (3) Special Studies: NAEP Reading Framework. A bibliography is included. (Contains 7 footnotes and 12 exhibits.).
Download or read book Reading Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress written by National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, DC. and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets forth the design of a test of reading comprehension. The exam requires students to read passages of written English text--either literary or informational--and to answer questions about what they have read. In some cases, the questions deal with facts in the text or vocabulary. In other cases, a complete answer requires a clear analysis or coherent argument supported by sound evidence from the text. This is the second reading framework approved by the National Assessment Governing Board. It will replace the framework that has been used in the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) since 1992 and will start a new trend. The new framework incorporates several key features: Its design is based on current scientific research in reading. In keeping with Governing Board policy, it does not advocate a particular approach to instruction, but rather focuses on important, measurable indicators of student achievement. The framework is consistent with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It will enable NAEP to carry out its important role in that law as a uniform, independent measure of reading achievement in each state at grades 4 and 8. The framework's content and preliminary achievement standards at grade 12 embody reading and analytical skills the project committees believe are needed for rigorous college- level courses and other productive postsecondary endeavors. In preparing the framework, extensive use was made of international reading assessments and exemplary state standards. For the first time in NAEP, vocabulary is measured explicitly. Word meanings will be tested in context and enough vocabulary items will be included to report useful information on the extent of vocabulary knowledge. Poetry is assessed in grade 4 as well as in grades 8 and 12. Previously, NAEP assessed poetry in grades 8 and 12 only. Poetry is a form of text that is rich in meaning and involves a high level of abstraction in language and ideas. Multiple-choice and constructed-response items (both short and extended) are included at all grades. In grades 8 and 12, students will be expected to spend about 60 percent of assessment time on constructed-response questions; at grade 4, about 50 percent. Descriptions of reading material to be used in the assessment and target skills to be tested are delineated in a series of charts that provide clear guidance to those developing the assessment and clear information to the public. Achievement will be reported on an overall cross-grade scale, allowing NAEP to show the development of reading skills throughout years of schooling as well as the wide variations in particular grades. Clear standards for grade-level expectations will be established. Separate subscales will be reported for literary and informational text as has been done on international reading assessments. The Board hopes that this reading framework will serve not only as a significant national measure of how well students read, but also as a catalyst to improve reading achievement for the benefit of students themselves and for our nation. This report contains three chapters: (1) Overview of the NAEP and 2009 NAEP Reading Assessment; (2) Content and Design of 2009 NAEP in Reading; and (3) Reporting Results. Appendices include: (A) Glossary; (B) Special Studies: 2009 NAEP Reading Framework; and (C) Sample Passages and Vocabulary Items (Grades 4, 8, and 12). (Contains 14 exhibits and a bibliography.).

This book was released on 1999-01-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--the nation's report card--has been the only continuing measure of student achievement in key subject areas. Increasingly, educators and policymakers have expected NAEP to serve as a lever for education reform and many other purposes beyond its original role. Grading the Nation's Report Card examines ways NAEP can be strengthened to provide more informative portrayals of student achievement and the school and system factors that influence it. The committee offers specific recommendations and strategies for improving NAEP's effectiveness and utility, including: Linking achievement data to other education indicators. Streamlining data collection and other aspects of its design. Including students with disabilities and English-language learners. Revamping the process by which achievement levels are set. The book explores how to improve NAEP framework documents--which identify knowledge and skills to be assessed--with a clearer eye toward the inferences that will be drawn from the results. What should the nation expect from NAEP? What should NAEP do to meet these expectations? This book provides a blueprint for a new paradigm, important to education policymakers, professors, and students, as well as school administrators and teachers, and education advocates.

Download or read book A Framework for K 12 Science Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.
Download or read book Assessing the Nation s Report Card written by Chester E. Finn and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing the Nation’s Report Card examines the history of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and outlines plans for improving and modernizing the organization. Educational policy analyst Chester E. Finn, Jr. imparts a rare inside analysis of the evolution of the NAEP program at key moments in its history, and provides a firsthand perspective of crucial decisions and core goals that have helped shape it. The result is a revealing survey of the US’s most influential source of data on K–12 achievement. Assessing the Nation’s Report Card offers readers an in-depth understanding and appreciation of NAEP as well as an examination of its shortcomings, its controversies, and its current issues. The book explores why NAEP is considered the gold standard of educational assessments yet is much lesser known than other types of standardized testing. Finn underscores the promise of applying the results in addressing achievement gaps, boosting federal accountability, and driving education reform and policy. He also discloses how the data are collected and what the results can and cannot tell us. For more than 50 years, this ambitious federal testing program has informed the decisions of policy makers and educational leaders as they advocate for educational improvements in the US. Acknowledging the nation’s evolving need for actionable information about students and schools, Finn provides an assured and rare overview of the existing program and proposes possibilities for the future.
