What do the NAEP assessments measure, and how is the content determined?
A subject-specific content framework, developed by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), guides each assessment. Frameworks capture a range of subject-specific content and thinking skills needed by students to deal with the complex issues they encounter inside and outside their classrooms. The NAEP frameworks are determined through a framework development process that ensures they are appropriate for current educational requirements. Because the assessments must remain flexible to mirror changes in educational objectives and curricula, the frameworks must be forward-looking and responsive, balancing current teaching practices with research findings. Frameworks are available on the NAGB website. Select “publications” from the home page.
