Title of Collection: National 

Assessment of Education Progress 

(NAEP) 2014–2016 System Clearance. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0790. 

Type of Review: A new generic 

information collection request under the 

approved generic information collection 

systems clearance. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 33,927. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 13,963. 

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 (20 

U.S.C. 9622), Congress again mandated 

the collection of national education 

survey data through a national 

assessment program. This request is an 

information collection that falls under 

the approved systems clearance, 1850– 

0790. The 2014 Wave 1 submittal 

contains the following: 

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 core 

(demographic) student questions, 

• the grade 8 civics, geography, and 

U.S. history subject-specific student 

questions, 

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 pilot science 

subject-specific student questions, 

• the grades 4 and 8 teacher 

questionnaires, and 

• the grades 4, 8, and 12 school 

questionnaires. 

The 2014 submittal is divided into 

two waves to meet scheduling and 

question development requirements. 

The first wave contains the core, social 

studies (civics, geography, U.S. history), 

and science (paper-and-pencil) 

descriptions, burden, and 

questionnaires. Wave 2 will contain 

technology and engineering literacy 

(TEL) and science ICT (interactive 

computer tasks) descriptions, burden, 

and materials, as well as information 

regarding school coordinator activities, 

including the collection of information 

on students with disabilities (SD) and 

English language learners (ELL). The 

purpose of NAEP is to collect and report 

assessment data on student achievement 

in the subject areas assessed for use in 

monitoring educational progress. In 

addition to reporting overall results of 

student performance and achievement, 

NAEP also reports student performance 

results for various subgroups of students 

and on various educational factors.

magnet schools that assist in the 

achievement of systemic reforms and 

provide all students with the 

opportunity to meet challenging 

academic content and student academic 

achievement standards. Projects support 

the development and design of 

innovative education methods and 

practices that promote diversity and 

increase choices in public education 

programs. The program supports 

capacity development the ability of a 

school to help all its students meet more 

challenging standards through 

professional development and other 

activities that will enable the continued 

operation of the magnet schools at a 

high performance level after funding 

ends. Finally, the program supports the 

implementation of courses of 

instruction in magnet schools that 

strengthen students knowledge of 

academic subjects and their grasp of 

tangible and marketable vocational 

skills.
