11: Exploring NAEP - The Nation's Report Card
Description
Teachers: Are you familiar with NAEP? How is this assessment different from high stakes tests or assessments you use in the classroom? In this episode, we discuss the uniqueness of the NAEP and this year’s results.
The National Assessment Governing Board is committed to maintaining the integrity and independence of The Nation’s Report Card as a trusted yardstick for U.S. student achievement. In this episode, Mr. Patrick Kelly, a high school social studies teacher from South Carolina, who also serves on the National Assessment Governing Board, talks to our chief executive, Dr. James Lane, about the role NAEP plays in conversations about U.S. education policy. Mr. Kelly is an accomplished educator with experience in developing the potential of educators in his district. He holds degrees from the University of South Carolina in history and political science, an MAT in social studies, and an MEd in education administration. You can learn more about the National Assessment Governing Board at their website, nagb.org.
