    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 1 submittal contains the following 
2011 assessments: the grades 4, 8, and 12 core (demographic) and 
subject-specific (reading (4, 8), mathematics (4, 8), science (8), and 
economics (12)) student background questionnaires; grades 4 and 8 
teacher questionnaires (core, reading, mathematics, and science 
components); and grades 4 and 8 school questionnaires (core, reading, 
mathematics, science, and charter school components).
