The National Assessment of Educational Progress: The Nation's Report Card.
Wolf, Richard M.
NASSP Bulletin, v77 n556 p36-45 Nov 1993
Reviews development of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and describes its current status. A central issue is deciding exactly what to assess in each school subject at each grade level. Currently, NAEP is a low-stakes test with questionable policy relevance. Other problems surround NAEP proficiency scale interpretations and responsiveness to curriculum changes. (Contains 11 references.) (MLH)
