What is the “No Child Left Behind Act,” and how does it relate to the release of the current assessment?
The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into legislation in January 2002 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Under this legislation, the Commissioner of Education Statistics is to conduct national and state NAEP assessments at least every two years in reading and mathematics in grades 4 and 8. These assessments must be conducted in the same year. In addition, national assessments in reading and mathematics in grade 12 are to be conducted at regularly scheduled intervals, and state assessments may be. To the extent that time and money allow, NAEP will be conducted in grades 4, 8, and 12 at regularly scheduled intervals in additional subjects including writing, science, history, geography, civics, economics, foreign language, and arts. Further information is available on the NAEP site.
