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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)â€"the nation's report cardâ€"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 documentsâ€"which identify knowledge and skills to be assessedâ€"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.

Book excerpt: This is the final report of the National Academy of Education's Panel on the Evaluation of the National Assessment of Education (NAEP) Progress Trial State Assessment. In this report, the Panel considers philosophical, technical, and policy issues concerning the NAEP in the immediate future and in the long term. The high technical quality of the NAEP assessment and its independence from unwarranted influences and political pressures have enabled the NAEP to monitor trends in educational achievement reliably since its inception in 1969. In recent years, the NAEP has expanded the number of students it assesses and has undergone substantial changes in content, design, and administration. Taken together, these changes have produced complexities that threaten the entire program. This report suggests ways in which the NAEP should broaden its conceptualization, assessment, and reporting. It asserts that educational achievement must be redefined in terms of what students need to know and be able to do for the 21st century and that education conditions must be created to support this vision of achievement. The fundamental purposes of the NAEP should be to inform the public and policy makers about student achievement trends in the nation and the states and to stimulate democratic debate about how to improve education. It is important that NAEP standards be set in defensible ways. Details are provided for a program of innovation and research that will require substantial planning before the reauthorization of the NAEP in 1998. These chapters are included: (1) "The Central Purpose of the National Assessment of Educational Progress"; (2) "What Should NAEP Measure?"; (3) "Measuring Achievement"; (4) "Informing the Nation"; (5) "Connecting to the Larger Network of Education Information"; and (6) "Planning for the Long Term." (Contains 7 figures and 43 references.) (SLD)
