The NAEP Geography Assessment: Will It Come Back?
Solem, Michael; Stoltman, Joseph
Journal of Geography, v119 n4 p136-139 2020
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) program periodically conducts national-level assessments of student achievement in geography. In July 2019, the National Assessment Governing Board announced a decision to eliminate geography, economics, arts, and foreign language assessments from the NAEP testing schedule through 2029. In this commentary, we review the reasons behind the Governing Board's decision and discuss what geographers can do to advocate for and make enhanced uses of NAEP geography reports and data.
