The Governing Board

Results from the 2024 Nation’s Report Card (#NAEP) for grade 8 science and grade 12 math and reading are here. The last time students took these assessments was in 2019, prior to the pandemic and its disruption to education. nationsreportcard.gov. (1/4)

#PoweredByNAEP: @HechingerReport examines possible explanations as to why the southern states that have seen positive gains in 4th grade reading haven’t seen the same gains in 8th grade. hechingerreport.org/proof-points-8…

Average scores don’t tell the full story, nor do they embrace the full potential of storytelling #NAEP data has to offer. That’s why we love seeing deep dives like this one on 12th grade math and reading from @chadaldeman in @the74: the74million.org/article/how-12… #PoweredByNAEP
