What Is NAEP?
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a congressionally mandated project of the U.S. Department
of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. It assesses what U.S. students should know and be able to do in geography, reading, writing, mathematics, science, U.S. history, the arts, civics, and other academic subjects. Since 1969, NAEP has surveyed the achievement of students at ages 9, 13, and 17 and, since the 1980s, in grades 4, 8, and 12. Measuring educational achievement trends over time is critical to measuring progress toward the National Education Goals.
The National Assessment Governing Board
The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) was created by Congress to formulate policy for NAEP. Among the Board's responsibilities are developing objectives and test specifications, and designing the assessment methodology for NAEP.
