Solicitation of Public Comments for
Updating the Science Assessment
Framework for the 2028 National
Assessment of Educational Progress
National Assessment
Governing Board, U.S. Department of
Education.
ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public
comment on working draft of the
Science Assessment Framework for the
2028 National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP).
AGENCY:
The National Assessment
Governing Board (Governing Board) is
soliciting public comment for input on
proposed recommendations for
updating the Assessment Framework for
the 2028 National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP) in Science.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Governing Board is authorized to
formulate policy guidelines for NAEP.
Section 302(e)(1)(c) of Public Law 107–
279 specifies that the Governing Board
determines the content to be assessed
for each NAEP Assessment. Each NAEP
subject area assessment is guided by a
framework that defines the scope of the
domain to be measured by delineating
the knowledge and skills to be tested at
each grade and subject, the format of the
assessment, and the achievement level
descriptions—guiding assessments that
are valid, reliable, and reflective of
widely accepted professional standards.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
Framework was last revised in 2005 for
use in 2009. In accordance with the
Board policy on Assessment Framework
Development for NAEP, panels of
science experts representing many
different stakeholder groups have
provided recommendations for updating
the NAEP Science Assessment
Framework. Public feedback is being
sought on a working draft of the 2028
NAEP Science Assessment Framework
that was produced by the Science
Framework Development Panel.
Comments received in response to this
notice will be utilized to inform
Governing Board decisions on the NAEP
Science Assessment Framework.
Governing Board action on a revised
science framework that incorporates
feedback received during public
comment is anticipated at the November
2023 Board meeting.
This notice sets forth the review
schedule and provides information for
accessing additional materials that will
be informative and necessary for this
review.
By engaging NAEP’s audiences,
partners, and stakeholders in the panels
that provide recommendations for
NAEP frameworks and by seeking
public comment, NAEP frameworks
reflect content valued by the public as
important to measure. Additional
information on the Governing Board’s
work in developing NAEP assessment
frameworks and Specifications can be
found at https://www.nagb.gov/naepframeworks/frameworks-overview.html.
All responses will be taken into
consideration before finalizing the
recommendations for updating the
NAEP Science Assessment Framework.
Once finalized, the updated NAEP
Science Assessment Framework will be
used to guide what is tested on the
NAEP Science Assessment in 2028 and
beyond.
Feedback shall be submitted via the
project website
(www.naepframeworkupdate.org) no
later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on
Monday, April 17. It is anticipated that
public comments will be shared and
discussed publicly in upcoming
Governing Board meetings and
materials. When providing comment,
please indicate if you are not
comfortable with your name and
affiliation being included with the
comments that may be shared publicly
by the Governing Board in its
deliberations.

NAEP
The existing framework (adopted in
2005) can be downloaded from the
Governing Board website at: https://
www.nagb.gov/naep-subject-areas/

Governing Board’s Periodic Review and
Updating of NAEP Frameworks
Governing Board policy articulates
the Board’s commitment to a
comprehensive, inclusive, and
deliberative process to determine and
update the content and format of all
NAEP assessments. For each NAEP
assessment, this process results in a
NAEP framework, outlining what is to
be measured and how it will be
measured. Periodically, the Governing
Board reviews existing NAEP
frameworks to determine if changes are
warranted. Each NAEP framework
development and update process
considers a wide set of factors,
including but not limited to reviews of
recent research on teaching and
learning, changes in state and local
standards and assessments, and the
latest perspectives on the nation’s future
needs and desirable levels of
achievement.
In 2021, the Board initiated a
preliminary review of the NAEP Science
Framework, which included an initial
public comment on whether and how
the framework should be updated as
well as expert commentary to determine
the type of updates needed. In May
2022, the Governing Board formally
decided to initiate an update to the
NAEP Science Framework and issued a
Board Charge providing guidance to the
panels of experts who were tasked with
developing the framework
recommendations.
