National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) is the independent, nonpartisan federal board that sets policy for NAEP, commonly known as The Nation's Report Card.
I couldn’t be more excited to extend the invitation to join me in updating what civics knowledge should be assessed for the Nation’s Report Card.
The @governingboard is looking for experts in civics or social studies to be a part of this panel.
The Governing Board is looking for panelists to serve on the NAEP Civics Assessment Framework Development Panel, an opportunity to update and shape the content knowledge and skills assessed on future NAEP Civics Assessments.

Last Friday our Board voted to offer state-level results in 12th grade math and reading. Inaugural Governing Board chair, Chester E. Finn Jr., encouraged “business leaders, civil rights groups, and others” to “press their state leaders to sign up ASAP.” https://t.co/htOtgv6UGZ
What does 32% of 12th graders being “below NAEP Basic” mean?
It means 1 in 3 high school seniors struggle to evaluate the effectiveness of an author's claim, organization, and evidence used.
Great news for states: @govboard has added the option for states to opt in to get more state-level NAEP results. Checker Finn makes the case why this is long overdue, especially in 12th grade, in @educationgadfly: https://t.co/dqa110BdSY
- 8th and 12th grade civics
- 12th grade math and reading

News from our Governing Board: The Trial Urban District Assessment is no longer a “trial.” The TUDA program has provided vital information for several urban districts for more than 20 years and will now officially be known as the “Trends in Urban District Assessment.”
Today, the Board is taking action to update the NAEP civics framework, which begins with an open nominations process to recruit panelists to give expertise and insight.
Thank you to everyone who provided public comment. More details on the panel forthcoming.
