NATIONAL ASSESSMENTS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE
   
  2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Assessment Window
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) will be administered to a sample of fourth-or-eighth-grade students in your school between January 28 and March 8, 2013. Students will be assessed in mathematics or reading. Students will spend about 90 minutes completing the assessment, including answering questions in one subject area and answering questions about themselves and their educational experiences. Each school principal and the teachers of the subjects being assessed will also complete a questionnaire. As principals, you are essential partners in NAEP. You make an important contribution to NAEP by working closely with your students, teachers and staff and explaining why the assessment is important. Watch a video containing important information on NAEP.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Also known as "the Nation's Report Card," NAEP is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. NAEP does not provide scores for individual students or schools; instead, it offers results regarding subject-matter achievement for populations of students (e.g., fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., female students, Hispanic students). National and state NAEP results are based on a sample of such student populations.

To view more comprehensive NAEP results (including results from other states) as well as sample test questions and details of the assessment administration, visit http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/. OSL
