The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often called the nation’s report card, analyzes what America’s students know and can do. Their findings often situate the United States’ students at the bottom of academic ranking lists that compare our students to students in other countries. What do you think causes this underperformance? What can teachers do in their classes to raise proficiency and overall performance? How can the education field turn around this trend of underperformance?
