How is NAEP administered?
The NAEP assessment is administered by a nationwide staff of about 3,000 people, many of whom are retired teachers. All NAEP administrators undergo rigorous security clearances. They are also trained in confidentiality and security procedures. In all cases, teachers are encouraged to remain in the testing area with their students during the assessment. Your state also has a NAEP coordinator, who helps answer questions about NAEP and who communicates with the NAEP administrators. To find your NAEP State Coordinator, select your state or other jurisdiction from the NAEP State Profiles.
