NAEP 2011 Mathematics and Reading ResultsNAEP State Coordinator Mark DeCandia
What is NAEP?
• The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in core subjects.
• A survey designed to produce national, state, and select urban district level results. – NAEP results are for populations of students, not for
individual students nor schools.
– Measures student performance nationally and reports changes over time.
– Allows comparisons between states and the nation.
NAEP School and Student Selection
• NAEP uses a carefully designed sampling procedure for the assessment to be representative of the geographical, racial, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of schools and students in the state. – First, schools are selected to be representative of schools.– Then, within each chosen school students are randomly
selected to participate. Each participating student represents hundreds of other similar students.
NAEP Administration
• NAEP is administered over a six-week period.– For 2011: January 24th – March 4th
• About 3,000 students in approximately 100 schools are selected in each state for each grade and subject. – Each student is only assessed in one subject area.– Students only take a small portion of the assessment– Accommodations are provided as necessary for students
with disabilities and English language learners.
NAEP Results
• The results of NAEP are released as The Nation’s Report Card. – The report card provides national, state, and district-level
results, results for different demographic groups, inclusion information, and sample questions.
• NAEP Results are reported in two formats– Average Scale Scores
• Numeric scale• 0 − 500 on mathematics and reading assessments• Scores cannot be compared across content areas
– Achievement Levels• Categorical scale• Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, Advanced
