Public Comment Sought for NAEP Civics Assessment Framework
Public Comment Sought for NAEP Civics Assessment Framework
An important duty of the National Assessment Governing Board is developing and updating assessment frameworks for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), or The Nation's Report Card. Frameworks guide the content of NAEP assessments.
To prepare for a potential update of the NAEP Civics Assessment Framework, the Board is seeking public comment through March 27. The initial gathering of public comment is the first stage in a comprehensive multi-year process that, if the Board decides framework revisions are needed, will later involve multiple iterations of stakeholder feedback and an expert panel to guide the development of assessment questions and recommendations for contextual questionnaires administered to students, teachers, and schools.
Individuals and organizations are invited to provide written comments and recommendations on the current civics framework that specifically address three questions:
- Does the NAEP Civics Assessment Framework need to be updated?
- If the framework needs to be updated, why is a revision needed?
- What should a revision to the framework include?
