necessary to the proper functions of the

Title of Collection: National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) 2021 Materials Update.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0928.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 329,909.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 180,233.
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 request
to conduct NAEP 2021, including
operational assessments and pilot tests:
Operational national/state/TUDA
Digitally Based Assessments (DBA) in
mathematics and reading at grades 4
and 8, and Puerto Rico in mathematics
at grades 4 and 8; and operational
national DBA in U.S. history and civics
at grade 8 was approved in April 2020,
with a further update to the materials
approved in July 2020. This request is
to conduct NAEP operational

assessments in 2021 and will follow the
traditional NAEP design which assesses
each student in 60-minutes for one
cognitive subject. Given the COVID–19
outbreak, NAEP requires personal
protective equipment for field staff and
must plan for additional sessions given
that students may attend school on a
staggered schedule. NAEP was not able
to secure additional funding from
Congress to cover the additional costs
for personal protective equipment,
necessary increases in field staff, and
other operational costs that would be
required to assess the full sample. As
such, this Amendment reflects the
elimination of the national-only
assessments (grade 8 U.S. History and
Civics, and age 17 Long-Term Trend), a
smaller sample of students within each
state for reading and mathematics, and
the elimination of TUDAs from the 2021
sample. This Amendment also includes
the addition of an online version of the
student questionnaires that will be
available to sampled students who are
remote and not able to be assessed inperson, as well as the addition of some
questionnaire items on teacher, student,
and school experiences conditioned by
the COVID–19 pandemic. The final
Materials Update #3 is scheduled for
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.
