Processing Assessment Materials

			Printing Student Booklets, Questionnaires, and Tracking Forms Packaging and Distribution Processing Student Booklets and Questionnaires Creating and Delivering Data Files Quality Control Storage of Assessment Materials

In each assessment cycle, the NAEP materials-processing staff is responsible for the following tasks that are related to student booklets, questionnaires, and rosters for each subject area and sample in the NAEP assessment:

• printing of student booklets, questionnaires, and tracking forms;
• packaging and distribution of test materials;
• processing of student booklets and questionnaires as they are returned from the field;
• scoring of cognitive items;
• creating and delivering data files for analysis and reporting;
• quality control; and
• storage of test materials following the scoring process.

To better plan and document NAEP activities, beginning with the 2001 assessment, NAEP staff implemented the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), a working document that evolves throughout an assessment cycle. The CMM was introduced to complement the existing Phase Review System (PRS) documentation. The CMM and PRS each include a version control page that is approved by the NAEP team.
