Abstract: The National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP) is a
federally authorized survey of student
achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in
various subject areas, such as
mathematics, reading, writing, science,
U.S. history, civics, geography,
economics, and the arts. In the current
legislation that reauthorized NAEP (The
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Pub.
L. 107–110)), Congress mandated again
the collection of national education
survey data through a national
assessment program. The 2011 Wave 1
submittal contains the following 2011
assessments: the grades 4, 8, and 12 core
(demographic) and subject-specific
(reading (4, 8), mathematics (4, 8),
science (8), and economics (12)) student

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose and Overview of Program:
Authorized under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), the Race to the Top Fund
Assessment Program provides funding
to consortia of States to develop
assessments that are valid, support and
inform instruction, provide accurate
information about what students know
and can do, and measure student
VerDate Nov<24>2008

achievement against standards designed
to ensure that all students gain the
knowledge and skills needed to succeed
in college and the workplace. These
assessments are intended to play a
critical role in educational systems;
provide administrators, educators,
parents, and students with the data and
information needed to continuously
improve teaching and learning; and help
meet the President’s goal of restoring, by
2020, the nation’s position as the world
leader in college graduates.
Through the Race to the Top Fund
Assessment Program, the Department
expects to award two categories of
grants: (A) Comprehensive Assessment
Systems grants, and (B) High School
Course Assessment Programs grants. In
this notice, we are establishing
priorities, requirements, definitions, and
selection criteria for each grant category.
An eligible applicant (i.e., a consortium
of States) may apply for grants in both
categories, provided it meets the
eligibility requirements for each
category. The Department will score and
rank applications separately in each
grant category. Following is an overview
of the two grant categories:
(A) Comprehensive Assessment
Systems grants. Over the past decade,
State assessment results have brought
much-needed visibility to disparities in
achievement among different groups of
students and helped meet increasing
demands for data that can be used to
improve teaching and learning. To fully
meet the dual needs for accountability
and instructional improvement,
however, States need assessment
systems that are based on standards
designed to prepare students for college
and the workplace, and that more
validly measure student knowledge and
skills against the full range of those
standards and across the full
performance continuum. Further, States
need assessment systems that better
reflect good instructional practices and
support a culture of continuous
improvement in education by providing
information that can be used in a timely
and meaningful manner to determine
school and educator effectiveness,
identify teacher and principal
professional development and support
needs, improve programs, and guide
instruction.
This grant category supports the
development of such assessment
systems by consortia of States.
Comprehensive Assessment Systems
grants provide funding for the
development of new assessment systems
that measure student knowledge and
skills against a common set of collegeand career-ready standards (as defined
in this notice) in mathematics and
PO 00000
Frm 00028

English language arts in a way that
covers the full range of those standards,
elicits complex student demonstrations
or applications of knowledge and skills
as appropriate, and provides an accurate
measure of student achievement across
the full performance continuum and an
accurate measure of student growth over
a full academic year or course.
Assessment systems developed with
Comprehensive Assessment Systems
grants must include one or more
summative assessment components in
mathematics and in English language
arts that are administered at least once
during the academic year in grades 3
through 8 and at least once in high
school and that produce student
achievement data and student growth
data (both as defined in this notice) that
can be used to determine whether
individual students are college- and
career-ready (as defined in this notice)
or on track to being college- and careerready (as defined in this notice). In
addition, assessment systems developed
with Comprehensive Assessment
Systems grants must assess all students,
including English learners (as defined in
this notice) and students with
disabilities (as defined in this notice).
Finally, assessment systems developed
with Comprehensive Assessment
Systems grants must produce data
(including student achievement data
and student growth data) that can be
used to inform (a) determinations of
school effectiveness; (b) determinations
of individual principal and teacher
effectiveness for purposes of evaluation;
(c) determinations of principal and
teacher professional development and
support needs; and (d) teaching,
learning, and program improvement.
To be eligible for a Comprehensive
Assessment Systems grant, an eligible
applicant must include at least 15
States, of which at least 5 States must
be governing States (as defined in this
notice). An eligible applicant receiving
a Comprehensive Assessment Systems
grant must ensure that the summative
assessment components of the
assessment system (in both mathematics
and English language arts) will be fully
implemented statewide in each State in
the consortium no later than the 2014–
2015 school year.1 It is the expectation
of the Department that States that adopt
assessment systems developed with
1 By requiring that member States fully
implement the summative assessment components
of the assessment system no later than the 2014–
2015 school year, we believe that we are providing
an eligible applicant receiving a Comprehensive
Assessment Systems grant with an appropriate
amount of time to design and develop summative
assessments that meet the Absolute Priority and
other requirements for this grant category.
