The Nation's Report Card - National Assessment of Educational Progress


			State Proficiency Standards Report Released NAEP researchers have released a new report that allows readers to compare state standards for academic proficiency. Each state sets its own standards for acheivement on its own educational assessments, so comparing these markers is impossible without a common yardstick against which to measure. By using states' NAEP scores as this common measure, the report Mapping State Proficiency Standards Onto NAEP Scales: 2005-2007 allows readers to see how their states' standards for achievement compare to those of other states.
