ABOUT THE PROJECT >

The National Assessment Governing Board is currently leading updates to the Mathematics and Reading Assessment Frameworks for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation’s Report Card. WestEd is a key partner in these efforts and has convened panels of subject-matter experts, practitioners, and other stakeholders to develop recommendations for improvement.

​

Final updates are currently being made to the Mathematics Assessment Framework. A draft of the Reading Assessment Framework was available to the general public for feedback through July 23, 2020.
