Making a Difference
NAEP as part of the National Effort to:Improve Student Achievement
Close Achievement Gaps
Using NAEP tools and audiences examples12th Graders Taking NAEP Test Seriously
Parents Understanding Proficiency
CCSSO-NCSA 46/21/11
Ex. Ideas for Stretching NAEP
Find appropriate ways to inform parents about NAEP and the urgency of addressing the achievement gap
Make NAEP results and NAEP resources—such as test items, data, and frameworks—accessible and useful to teachers
Provide feedback to students who participate in NAEP about how they perform
Provide NAEP items for diagnostic assessments
Make information on NAEP more accessible by widespread audiences
CCSSO-NCSA 56/21/11
Your Ideas
Motivation of students – giving feedback Let districts who want to be involved participate Motivate locals by sharing information with them Document relationship with Common Motivation partnership with parents and PTOs (NAEP
Parent Institute-certification or promoters of NAEP) Use/promote use of NAEP tools, Real Estate ? Use results at the school level
CCSSO-NCSA 66/21/11
Your Ideas
School-level reporting What is happening in the field Linking to CC Assessments Use of Computer adaptive testing (better
estimates) Opportunity to partner with parents (better
communication and information) Why 12th grade, why not 10th grade to make
the use of the data more useable locally
CCSSO-NCSA 76/21/11
Your Ideas
Giving better results at the school level Give other things to schools, not just results
(ex. Prof. development) Making reports easier for parents to
understand Common Core – why do we need NAEP? Give oversampled student results Making NAEP more relevant today –
connections to the Common Core
CCSSO-NCSA 86/21/11
Your Ideas
Sprinkle NAEP items in State Assessment 11th grade Other grade – end of 9 or 10 Below state NAEP expanded opportunities Work with consortia to adopt scale for achievement PSA RE: importance of NAEP NAEP Tool more accessible for schools Reporters – something down and dirty “how to use
NAEP data”
CCSSO-NCSA 96/21/11
Your Ideas Inclusion policy – move toward more
consistency Provide models for state assessments about
how innovations can move forward More embedded in Common Core Motivation in 12th grade – schools don’t have an accurate idea about
NAEP Communicate with parents and the public about
what NAEP is, ex., podcasts
CCSSO-NCSA 106/21/11
Your Ideas
Value of NAEP data to the field staff (don’t know how data can be used and can’t sell it) and schools
Feedback to schools – would be useful and national in schools
Continue to help states strengthen tests and curriculum
NAEP continues to be relevant even in the Common Core era
CCSSO-NCSA 116/21/11
Your Ideas
NAEP continue to point out variable rigor on proficient
Open new frontiers in assessment, ex. Online assessment R&D, pioneer, make mistakes,
Advantages of NAEP sampling, techniques, assessing SWD
Emphasize descriptive information (not accountability)
Keep agenda of other content areas
CCSSO-NCSA 126/21/11
Your Ideas
Difference of preparedness vs. readiness think about careers
Getting back to basics – leadership in psychometrics
Linking – increasing links to other assessment (SAT, etc.), increasing opportunities for student linking 4th to 8th, mini diagnostic tool using released items
Feedback to students teachers and schools
CCSSO-NCSA 136/21/11
Your Ideas
NAEP linking classroom instructional practice in the classroom to scores
Public document – lessons learned and common misconceptions
Common Core Repository info for/from the Consortia and alignment Connecting state level data to NAEP data Connect Question tool to Consortia Definition of Preparedness
CCSSO-NCSA 146/21/11
Your Ideas
Don’t do any of the ideas. Use the bully pulpit of NAEP to argue for best
psychometric practices to reduce sampling error (pilot testing practices) and maintain high reliability on produced test.
Continue to focus on what NAEP does well. Study bumps in the scores to determine
contributing factors.
