Assessing the Nation's Report Card examines the history of the
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and outlines
plans for improving and modernizing the organization. Educational
policy analyst Chester E. Finn, Jr. imparts a rare inside analysis
of the evolution of the NAEP program at key moments in its history,
and provides a firsthand perspective of crucial decisions and core
goals that have helped shape it. The result is a revealing survey
of the US's most influential source of data on K-12 achievement.
Assessing the Nation's Report Card offers readers an in-depth
understanding and appreciation of NAEP as well as an examination of
its shortcomings, its controversies, and its current issues. The
book explores why NAEP is considered the gold standard of
educational assessments yet is much lesser known than other types
of standardized testing. Finn underscores the promise of applying
the results in addressing achievement gaps, boosting federal
accountability, and driving education reform and policy. He also
discloses how the data are collected and what the results can and
cannot tell us. For more than 50 years, this ambitious federal
testing program has informed the decisions of policy makers and
educational leaders as they advocate for educational improvements
in the US. Acknowledging the nation's evolving need for actionable
information about students and schools, Finn provides an assured
and rare overview of the existing program and proposes
possibilities for the future.
