Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 21, 2020 / Notices
Abstract: The National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP),
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), 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, technology and engineering
literacy (TEL), and the arts. The
National Assessment of Educational
Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L.
107–279 Title III, section 303) requires
the assessment to collect data on
specified student groups and
characteristics, including information
organized by race/ethnicity, gender,
socio-economic status, disability, and
limited English proficiency. It requires
fair and accurate presentation of
achievement data and permits the
collection of background, noncognitive,
or descriptive information that is related
to academic achievement and aids in
fair reporting of results. The intent of
the law is to provide representative
sample data on student achievement for
the nation, the states, and
subpopulations of students and to
monitor progress over time. The nature
of NAEP is that burden alternates from
a relatively low burden in national-level
administration years to a substantial
burden increase in state-level
administration years when the sample
has to allow for estimates for individual
states and some of the large urban
districts. The request is to conduct
NAEP 2021, including operational
assessments and pilot tests: Operational
national/state Digitally Based
Assessments (DBA) in mathematics and
reading at grades 4 and 8, and Puerto
Rico in mathematics at grades 4 and 8;
operational national DBA in U.S. history
and civics at grade 8; and pilot DBA for
mathematics at grades 4 and 8 was
approved in April 2020. This request is
the first of three 30D packages that will
provide updates to materials for NAEP
2021, and provides the final details of
the design for NAEP 2021 as well as
some updated communication materials
and a new sampling memo. The
subsequent Materials Updates #2 and #3
are scheduled for June and October of
2020. The NAEP results will be reported
to the public through the Nation’s
Report Card as well as other online
NAEP tools.
