Understanding NAEP: Importance, Requirements, and Developments in Montana Education

NAEP, or the National Assessment of Educational Progress, is a pivotal assessment tool that measures academic achievement across the U.S. Understanding its significance in Montana helps educators and policymakers gauge student performance through average scale scores and proficiency levels. The assessment involves a random sample of around 2,000 students from grades 4, 8, and 12, including those with disabilities and limited English proficiency. With ongoing developments in science and writing, NAEP provides crucial insights into student knowledge while maintaining confidentiality and minimizing classroom disruption.
