NAEP results and explain how the 

achievement levels should (and 

should not) be used 

• Reference to multiple types of 

achievement level descriptions 

(ALDs), including reporting ALDs that 

would be created using empirical data 

and written in terms of what students 

do know and can do rather than what 

students should know and be able to 

do 

• Clarification on the standard setting 

participants, in particular the noneducator group 

• Additional details about the 

achievement level setting process, 

including some practices that have 

become institutionalized over time 

(e.g., the use of ‘‘impact data’’) 

• Removal of details on implementation 

directed to staff and contractors, 

which will instead be included in a 

‘‘procedures manual’’
