National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has
frequently been called the "Nations
Report Card." It is the only national assessment
of what America’s students know and can do in various
subject areas.
As a result of the "No
Child Left Behind" legislation, all states are required
to participate in NAEP. Beginning with the 2002-2003 school
year, all schools in Illinois that are part of the sample
drawn by the National Center for Education Statistics shall
administer the biennial State academic assessments of 4th
and 8th grade reading and mathematics under NAEP.
Our goal is to partner with those schools in Illinois that
are selected to participate in NAEP. We will provide assistance
in making connections between the NAEP
Frameworks and the Illinois
Learning Standards.
NAEP Demonstration sample questions booklets for reading and mathematics
assessments are available for grades
4, 8 and
12 at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/booklets.asp. These
booklets contain a description of each assessment, assessment
directions, background questionnaires, and sample questions.
