SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Statutory 

Authority and Function: The Governing 

Board is established under the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

Authorization Act, (20 U.S.C. 9621). 

Information on the Governing Board and 

its work can be found at www.nagb.gov. 

Notice of the meeting is required under 

section 1009(a)(2) of 5 U.S.C. chapter 10 

(Federal Advisory Committees). 

The Governing Board formulates 

policy for the National Assessment of 

Educational Progress (NAEP) 

administered by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES). The 

Governing Board’s responsibilities 

include: 

(1) selecting the subject areas to be 

assessed; (2) developing appropriate 

student achievement levels; (3) 

developing assessment objectives and 

testing specifications that produce an 

assessment that is valid and reliable, 

and are based on relevant widely 

accepted professional standards; (4) 

developing a process for review of the 

assessment which includes the active 

participation of teachers, curriculum 

specialists, local school administrators, 

parents, and concerned members of the 

public; (5) designing the methodology of 

the assessment to ensure that 

assessment items are valid and reliable, 

in consultation with appropriate 

technical experts in measurement and 

assessment, content and subject matter, 

sampling, and other technical experts 

who engage in large scale surveys; (6) 

measuring student academic 

achievement in grades 4, 8, and 12 in 

the authorized academic subjects; (7) 

developing guidelines for reporting and 

disseminating results; (8) developing 

standards and procedures for regional 

and national comparisons; (9) taking 

appropriate actions needed to improve 

the form, content use, and reporting of 

results of an assessment; and (10) 

planning and executing the initial 

public release of NAEP reports. 

Assessment Development Committee 

Meeting 

The Assessment Development 

Committee will meet virtually on 

January 26th from 3–3:15 p.m. ET to 

take action on the Assessment and Item 

Specifications for the 2028 NAEP 

Science Assessment Framework. 

Governing Board policy articulates 

the Board’s commitment to a 

comprehensive, inclusive, and 

deliberative process to determine and 

update the content and format of all 

NAEP assessments. For each NAEP 

assessment, this process results in a 

NAEP framework, outlining what is to 

be measured and how it will be 

measured. Periodically, the Governing 

Board reviews existing NAEP 

frameworks to determine if changes are 

warranted. Each NAEP framework 

development and update process 

considers a wide set of factors, 

including but not limited to reviews of 

recent research on teaching and 

learning, changes in state and local 

standards and assessments, and the 

latest perspectives on the nation’s future 

needs and desirable levels of 

achievement. 

In 2021, the Board initiated a 

preliminary review of the NAEP Science 

Framework, which included an initial 

public comment on whether and how 

the framework should be updated as 

well as expert commentary to determine 

the type of updates needed. In May 

2022, the Governing Board formally 

decided to initiate an update to the 

NAEP Science Framework and issued a 

Board Charge providing guidance to the 

panels of experts who were tasked with 

developing the framework 

recommendations. Public comment on 

draft framework recommendations was 

sought in March–April 2023 and 

feedback was incorporated. The 

Governing Board adopted the 2028 

NAEP Science Assessment Framework 

during its November 2023 quarterly 

meeting. 

The Science Assessment and Item 

Specifications document provides 

additional technical and operational 

details for implementing the framework. 

During the November 2023 quarterly 

Board meeting, the Governing Board 

delegated authority for adopting the 

Science Assessment and Item 

Specifications to the Assessment 

Development Committee.
