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)

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…

NAGB Board Members Maryland Del. @jaredssolomon and Tennessee @RepMarkWhiteTN set politics aside to share what we know about student learning in @GOVERNING. ➡️ governing.com/policy/dont-le…

Too many students graduate from high school without the reading skills they need. Here's what we know from the NAEP data:

… and what other states can learn in their own efforts. aei.org/events/what-ca… (2/2)

Over the past decade, Mississippi has seen huge gains in reading achievement on #NAEP 4th grade reading with notable improvements among low-performers. Our board member @kymyona_burk will be speaking with @AEI today about the work the state has done (and continues to do)… (1/2)

Most of the #ScienceofReading conversations have focused on the early grades. But how are older students doing in reading?

Most #ScienceofReading conversations have focused on elementary students. But what about the nation’s middle school and high school students? NAEP results show us that we can’t leave them out of the conversation.

Our governing board is made up of education experts and leaders from across the country. Lisa Ashe, Ed.D., a math expert for North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, shares changes to NC’s math standards and how implementation will be key: ednc.org/perspective-no…

What math skills are 8th graders assessed on in NAEP? And how have they been doing in these skills?

Roughly 600,000 4th + 8th graders across 50 states plus Puerto Rico, DC, & DoWEA schools have completed taking NAEP 2026! The coordination involved between @EdNCES, school admins, and educators is nothing short of herculean. Thanks and congrats to everyone involved.

From @edNCES: To date, 9,544 schools and 378,000 students have taken 2026 #NAEP. We thank the schools, teachers, and students for their participation!

4th and 8th graders across the US have been taking 2026 NAEP. Results will be released in early 2027 (math and reading) and summer 2027 (history and civics) as @edNCES conducts an important bridge study. More here: ies.ed.gov/learn/blog/wha…
