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


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


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


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


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.
