NAEP Activities
NAEP 2011-2012
During the 2011-2012 school year, NAEP will be assessing the performance of students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in mathematics and reading as part of the NAEP long-term trend assessment. The assessment of 13-year-olds began on October 10 and will end on December 16, 2011. Students who are 9 years old will be assessed from January 9 to March 16, 2012, and students who are 17 years old will be assessed from March 19 to May 25, 2012.
In addition to the long-term trend assessments, grade 12 students will be assessed in economics, and grade 4 students will participate in a pilot study of the computer-based writing assessment, from January 23 to March 2, 2012.
NAEP 2011
From January 24 through March 4, 2011, NAEP conducted its first national computer-based assessment in writing at grades 8 and 12. Learn more about the assessment and what students saw. Also administered were the NAEP mathematics and reading assessments at grades 4 and 8, the NAEP science assessment at grade 8, and the National Indian Education Study (544K PDF).
In addition to the scheduled NAEP assessments, NCES will conduct a special research study to link the NAEP grade 8 mathematics and science results to the results of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Results for the NAEP assessments will be available in late 2011 and early 2012, while the results from the linking study are planned for release in late 2012.
More information about the NAEP-TIMSS 2011 International Linking Study will be forthcoming. Learn more about TIMSS and learn about three other international assessments with results that are used in conjunction with NAEP results.
In the meantime, check out the new International Data Explorer (IDE), an offshoot of the NAEP Data Explorer. The IDE allows you to compare the assessment results of our nation's students with results of students from other countries. Results for TIMSS, as well as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) are now available.
