Abstract: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, and the arts. In the current legislation that reauthorized NAEP (The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 107-110)), Congress mandated again the collection of national education survey data through a national assessment program. The 2011 Wave 2 submittal contains the grades 8 and 12 writing non-cognitive (computer-delivered) questions; the National Indian Education Study (NIES) student, teacher, and school questions; and the non-cognitive questions for three special studies: The Mathematics Computer-Based Study (MCBS), Knowledge and Skills Appropriate (KaSA) Study, and the alignment study between NAEP and TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) mathematics and science questions.
