Abstract:
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, technology and engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Public Law 107-279 Title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (including the National Indian Education Study (NIES), the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results. The initial request for clearance of NAEP 2024 received OMB approval in April 2023 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.28). Amendment #1 to the NAEP 2024 clearance package received OMB approval in June 2023 (OMB#1850-0928 v.29), and Amendment #2 was approved in August 2023. Between Amendment #2 and Amendment #3, NCES made the decision to no longer use school staff to proctor accommodation sessions as previously included in early versions of Amendment #2. These changes are reflected in Amendment #3, and the communication materials, burden hours, and costs to the Federal Government to remove these activities as a result. The increased cost to the Federal Government is due to the need to hire additional Field Staff to conduct these separate sessions, resulting in an additional $3,700,000. This revision provides minor updates Part A to detail the removal of the staff proctored accommodation sessions in the burden table and addition of teacher and school questionnaires for the Field Trial to the burden table, updates to communication materials placeholders in Part B as well as adding a reference to Best Practices materials (Section B.3), updated and added final communication materials to Appendix D, new Assessment Management System (AMS) screenshots in Appendix I, and minor update to two items in Appendix J1 removing subitem text, and revised eNAEP and NAEPq login screenshots and paper booklet covers in J1, J2, J3, and J-S.
