The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various
subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics,
technology and engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of Educational Progress
Authorization Act (Public Law 107-279 Title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified
student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic
status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data
and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic
achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on
student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time.
The nature of NAEP is that burden alternates from a relatively low burden in national-level administration years to
a substantial burden increase in state-level administration years when the sample has to allow for estimates for
individual states and some of the large urban districts. The NAEP results are reported to the public through the
Nation’s Report Card as well as other online NAEP tools. The request to conduct NAEP in 2018 and 2019,
including operational assessments, pilot tests, and special studies was approved by OMB in July 2017 with a
change request approved in August 2017 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.5-6). This request is to indicate which of the
questionnaire items from the approved library of items will be used in NAEP 2018 and to provide the final versions
of all NAEP 2018 communication materials, which are a subset of the approved library of communication
materials.
