The Nation's Report Card

In 2008, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) will continue conducting the long-term trend assessment, which has measured students' progress in mathematics and reading since the early 1970s. For selected nine-year-old students, the assessment period runs from January 7 to March 14, 2008. From March 17 to May 23, 2008, students at age 17 will take the assessments. Students at age 13 took the assessments in October through December 14, 2007. Results from these assessments in public and private schools throughout the nation will be reported in 2009.

Out of Many, One: Toward Rigorous Common Core Standards From the Ground Up

The efforts by individual states to set college- and career-ready standards for high school graduates have a led to a remarkable degree of consistency in English and mathematics requirements. This “common core” – detailed in “Out of Many, One: Toward Rigorous Common Core Standards from the Ground Up”– is the byproduct of aligning standards to real-world demands. The leadership role that the report shows states have displayed in setting common English and math standards has implications for the role of the federal government in education policymaking and has the potential to change the way education issues are viewed at the state and national levels.
