NAEP Item Development NAEP Item Development
Each National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessment is built around an organizing framework, which is the blueprint that guides the development of the assessment items and determines the content to be assessed. The National Assessment Governing Board develops the NAEP frameworks. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) oversees the development of the assessment items and scoring rubrics. Both agencies begin with a developmental process and continue with extensive reviews by multiple groups. Last updated 19 June 2008 (MH) |
