The assessment is given periodically in a variety of subjects: mathematics, reading, writing, science, the arts, civics, economics, geography, U.S. history, and technology and engineering literacy. NAEP is given to representative samples of students across the U.S. to assess the educational progress of the nation as a whole. Since 1992, NAEP results have been reported in relation to three achievement levels: basic, proficient, and advanced. However, the use of achievement levels has provoked controversy and disagreement, and evaluators have identified numerous concerns. This publication evaluates the NAEP student achievement levels in reading and mathematics in grades 4, 8, and 12 to determine whether the achievement levels are reasonable, reliable, valid, and informative to the public, and recommends ways that the setting and use of achievement levels can be improved"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Academic achievement $z United States $v Statistics. 650 0 $a Educational evaluation $z United States $v Statistics. 650 0 $a Mathematical ability $x Testing. 650 0 $a Reading $x Ability testing. 650 0 $a Educational tests and measurements $z United States. 700 1 $a Edley, Christopher, $e editor. 700 1 $a Koenig, Judith, $e editor. 710 2 $a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 710 2 $a National Assessment of Educational Progress (Project) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802024323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D84B1DA475911E7B35354A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
