National Assessment Governing Board’s Post

The 2024 Nation’s Report Card (#NAEP) will be released in early 2025, instead of fall 2024, to allow time for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to study if there are any impacts from changing assessment devices. States and TUDA districts were informed of these changes in April 2023.

We are more than a month into the school year. How many students have already missed multiple days of school? It's important to use data every day to understand who is missing school and how to take action to get kids into classrooms. https://lnkd.in/eR8RXEEe

We're thinking about #AI's role in supporting and improving assessments and how it is impacting the education space at large. As we do this work, understanding the LIMITATIONS of the tool is absolutely critical. Fascinating study on chatGPT's math skills as it takes #NAEP: https://lnkd.in/efsWtheE

We’re excited for the big changes coming to the 2024 Nation’s Report Card on how we report students’ socioeconomic status. National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has been leading on a new index that will help paint a better understanding of the student learning experience.

Congratulations are also in order today for our four current members who have been reappointed by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona: Suzanne Lane, Julia Rafal-Baer, Ron Reynolds, and Mark White.
