Long-Term Trend national results for 9- and 13-year-olds in math and reading will be released on June 10. Learn more here: nagb.gov/news-and-event…

Last Friday our Board voted to offer state-level results in 12th grade math and reading. Inaugural Governing Board chair, Chester E. Finn Jr., encouraged “business leaders, civil rights groups, and others” to “press their state leaders to sign up ASAP.” fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

What does 32% of 12th graders being “below NAEP Basic” mean? It means 1 in 3 high school seniors struggle to evaluate the effectiveness of an author's claim, organization, and evidence used.

Great news for states: @govboard has added the option for states to opt in to get more state-level NAEP results. Checker Finn makes the case why this is long overdue, especially in 12th grade, in @educationgadfly: fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

News from our Governing Board: The Trial Urban District Assessment is no longer a “trial.” The TUDA program has provided vital information for several urban districts for more than 20 years and will now officially be known as the “Trends in Urban District Assessment.”

Today, the Board is taking action to update the NAEP civics framework, which begins with an open nominations process to recruit panelists to give expertise and insight. Thank you to everyone who provided public comment. More details on the panel forthcoming. (3/3)

We recently hosted a public comment period to see if and how the civics framework needs updating. The Board received 38 comments, all of which called for a revision. (2/3)

An important responsibility of the Board is overseeing development of NAEP frameworks, outlining what knowledge and skills students should be assessed on in each @NAEP_NCES assessment. (1/3)

In today’s world, short, fast content is king. So how often are students being asked to write LONG answers on assignments? According to students, fewer 8th graders are assigned to write long answers regularly. This is especially true for lower-performing students.
