In Case You Missed It - Top Blog Posts, Tweets, and Data Analyses from NAEP
With all that 2020 brought us, we also experienced a deluge of data and information. Such overwhelming amounts of news made it easy to miss opportunities to learn about and engage with important education data. In this post, we recap some top moments in 2020 from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
Are U.S. students prepared to learn online when schools need to be closed?
This blog post explores the availability of digital tools for students by school type, locale, jurisdiction, and socioeconomic status. While most students had access to a desktop computer or tablet and internet at home, 2019 NAEP mathematics data suggest that some communities lack access to and experience with digital devices for learning.
An early look at how 2018-19 state proficiency standards map onto NAEP scales.
Do you know how your state’s proficiency standards align with NAEP achievement levels? This post shows preliminary results of states’ 2018-19 proficiency standards in reference to NAEP’s achievement levels. In grades 4 and 8 mathematics and reading, half or more of states that participated in the analysis had proficiency standards in the NAEP Basic range.
