Increasingly, educators and policymakers have expected NAEP to serve as a lever for education reform and many other purposes beyond its original role. Grading the Nation's Report Card examines ways NAEP can be strengthened to provide more informative portrayals of student achievement and the school and system factors that influence it. The committee offers specific recommendations and strategies for improving NAEP's effectiveness and utility, including: Linking achievement data to other education indicators. Streamlining data collection and other aspects of its design. Including students with disabilities and English-language learners. Revamping the process by which achievement levels are set. The book explores how to improve NAEP framework documents--which identify knowledge and skills to be assessed--with a clearer eye toward the inferences that will be drawn from the results. What should the nation expect from NAEP? What should NAEP do to meet these expectations? This book provides a blueprint for a new paradigm, important to education policymakers, professors, and students, as well as school administrators and teachers, and education advocates. 606 $aEducation$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aEducational tests and measurements$zUnited States 615 0$aEducation$xEvaluation. 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements 676 $a370/.973 701 $aPellegrino$b James W$01133311 701 $aJones$b Lee R$01814127 701 $aMitchell$b Karen Janice$01105013 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Evaluation of National and State Assessments of Educational Progress. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960483103321 996 $aGrading the nation's report card$94367771 997 $aUNINA
