Frequency of Responses: Once. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 105,951. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 16,339. 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. In 2012, NAEP will administer Long-Term Trend (LTT) reading and mathematics assessments to students at ages 9, 13, and 17. The LTT assessments are designed to give information on the changes in academic performance since the 1970’s. Measuring trends of student achievement or change over time requires the precise replication of past procedures. LTT assessments are administered every four years to students at ages 9, 13, and 17, in mathematics and reading. Student performance results are reported for the nation.
