Appendix D

School Coordinator Responsibilities
Each school participating in NAEP 2014 has a designated staff member 

to serve as its NAEP school coordinator. You have been selected to serve as 

coordinator and liaison for all NAEP assessment activities in your school. 

Thank you in advance for helping to prepare for this important assessment!

School Coordinator Responsibilities: 

A Guide to MyNAEP

2014

For more information about NAEP, visit: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard. Find us on: 

In the fall, you will be responsible for the following:

■ Registering for the MyNAEP website. MyNAEP will provide you with all 

of the information your school needs to participate in NAEP, including 

information about what to expect at each stage. Multiple school staff may 

register to access the site, but only school coordinators will have full access. 

Register at www.mynaep.com by entering the registration ID assigned by 

your NAEP State or Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) Coordinator. 

For detailed instructions on how to register, refer to page 3.

■ Completing and submitting school information. Go to the Provide School 

Information page on MyNAEP to enter and submit your school’s contact 

and characteristic information, including your school’s name, address, and 

the number of students enrolled in the selected grade. Providing up-to-date 

information about your school ensures that materials can be accurately 

prepared for the assessment. 

The MyNAEP website 

provides participating 

schools and districts with a 

convenient way to prepare 

for the upcoming National 

Assessment of Educational 

Progress (NAEP).

■ MyNAEP will serve 

as your primary 

resource and action 

center throughout the 

assessment process.

■ Previously, school 

coordinators prepared 

for NAEP by completing 

paperwork and 

holding an in-person 

preassessment visit with 

NAEP representatives. 

MyNAEP offers 

school coordinators 

an electronic way to 

complete the same tasks 

at their own pace.

■ The MyNAEP menu is 

a virtual checklist of all 

activities that school 

coordinators will need 

to complete throughout 

the school year, so it is 

important to check in 

regularly to make sure 

your school is on track 

with preparations.

MyNAEP Activity Timeline
■ Preparing and submitting a list of your 

school’s students in the selected grade level 

(if requested). NAEP requires a complete 

list of students in the selected grade. This 

ensures that a random sample of students can 

be selected to participate in the assessment 

and demographic information about these 

students can be collected. Visit the Submit 

Student List page on MyNAEP to determine 

if you will need to prepare and upload this 

list. Student names will always be kept 

confidential, and individual student responses 

and scores on NAEP are never reported. 

In December, your NAEP representative 

responsible for administering NAEP in your 

school will contact you and discuss how 

to complete these tasks listed under the 

Prepare for Assessment menu:

■ Updating student information and preparing 

for the assessment of students with 

disabilities and English language learners 

(SD/ELL). Visit the Update List of Sampled 

Students page to review the student sample 

and identify any withdrawn or ineligible 

students who need to be removed. You will 

also need to review demographic information 

and provide updates in case any information 

is missing or inaccurate. To ensure that 

NAEP reflects the educational progress of all 

students, you will need to submit information 

on the Include Students page about how 

SD/ELL students will participate in the 

assessment and the accommodations they will 

receive. 

■ Informing parents/guardians of student 

participation. By law, parents/guardians of 

students selected to participate in NAEP must 

be notified in writing of their child’s selection 

prior to the administration of the assessment. 

An electronic copy of the Parent/Guardian 

Notification Letter is available on the Notify 

Parents page for downloading, printing, and 

distributing. 

Other Prepare for Assessment menu tasks 

will become available in January:

■ Submitting a current roster of students. For 

NAEP to obtain an accurate picture of student 

achievement, all eligible students must have 

an opportunity to be selected. You will need 

to visit Submit Current Roster of Students 

and upload an Excel file of students currently 

enrolled in the selected grade. 

■ Managing the completion of questionnaires 

by school staff. You will be responsible for 

distributing and ensuring the completion of 

online questionnaires designed to help provide 

contextual information for the assessment 

results. These questionnaires may be accessed, 

distributed, and monitored for completion 

through the Manage Questionnaires page on 

MyNAEP. 

■ Promoting the importance of NAEP with 

school staff and students. Teachers are 

essential for motivating students to do their 

best on NAEP. Students selected to take NAEP 

will represent thousands of students across 

the country, so it is vital that they participate 

and do their best. Online resources, short 

videos, and strategies for promoting NAEP are 

all available on the Encourage Participation 

page.

■ Finalizing assessment arrangements. 

Assessment day details, including the 

location(s) and start time of the assessment, 

the ways students and teachers will be 

notified, and SD/ELL student accommodation 

logistics, will need to be entered via the 

Finalize Assessment Arrangements page.

On the assessment date, you will meet 

your NAEP representative and assessment 

team, and be responsible for the following:

■ Ensuring that students attend the session.

Prior to the assessment start time, you will 

need to be available to ensure that students 

attend the sessions. Appointment cards can 
be created and printed from the Support 

Assessment Activities page. You and the 

teachers of selected students are encouraged 

to remain in the room during the assessment. 

If attendance of sampled students is less 

than 90 percent, a makeup session will be 

necessary, and the NAEP representative will

Appendix E: 

Sample MyNAEP System Instructions for Completion of 

SD and ELL Inclusion Information (from 2014 Version) 
Include Students 

At the left-hand navigation bar, beneath Prepare for Assessment, click on the Include Students

link. 

These next tasks are related to students with disabilities and English Language learners, and 

how best to include these students in the NAEP assessment. 

There are several items of note on this main landing page. First, clicking the Review Inclusion 

Policy link will take you to your state’s specific SD and ELL inclusion guidelines. It will be useful 

to review these before completing the SD and ELL inclusion tasks. 

Next, you have the ability to provide access to MyNAEP for up to two other people at your 

school who can provide more specific, detailed information about students selected for NAEP 

who have disabilities or are English Language Learners. If you are not the best source of 

knowledge about the disabled or limited English students selected for NAEP and the 

accommodations they require, you can designate a language specialist or a special education 

teacher to provide the information about these students that NAEP requires to accommodate 

their participation in the assessment. You do not have to delegate this task, but you can if you 

deem it appropriate, and we will cover how to do so in a moment. 
In the tan box under the title Additional Resources, there are a few documents that you may 

want to review. First, the Inclusion on NAEP Fact Sheet and the Letter from the Department of 

Education Encouraging Inclusion explain why inclusion is so important in the NAEP assessment. 

Also in this section are two documents that list all the information you’ll need to include 

students with disabilities and English Language Learners in NAEP. 

Let’s look at the process for providing access to other school staff members so that they can 

complete the SD and/or ELL tasks. Click the link labeled Provide Access for SD and/or ELL 

Specialists. When you do, you’ll see this screen: 

In this screen, you will type in the first name, last name, and email address of the person or 

people you are designating as the SD/ELL specialist(s). Then, you need to check the box beside 

the access the person(s) should have. 

Remember that NAEP strives to keep student data confidential, so limiting access to that data is 

crucial. You, as the NAEP School Coordinator, have a role in this responsibility. You should 

always place any NAEP confidential data that has been printed in the red NAEP storage 

envelope, and store the envelope in a secure location at your school. You should not share your 

School Coordinator login credentials with anyone else. 

Instead, you can grant access for SD specialists, and they will only have access to students who 

were selected for NAEP and designated as having a disability. If you grant access to an ELL 

specialist, that person will only have access to the students selected for NAEP who are English 

language learners. These specialists will not have access to other sections of the MyNAEP 

website. 
When you have entered the names and email addresses of your SD and ELL specialists, click the 

Send Email button. An email will be sent to the person(s) you designated as SD/ELL specialist(s). 

Your email address will appear in the From: field so that these teachers recognize the familiar 

sender. You will see this pop-up window: 

The email message will contain your school’s MyNAEP registration ID and instructions for 

registering at the MyNAEP web site. 

Once you have finished providing access to SD/ELL specialists, click the Close button to return 

to the main Include Students landing page. 
Include Students: Provide Information for Students with Disabilities 

Next, you’ll provide information about the students with disabilities selected for NAEP. Click the 

Provide Information for Students with Disabilities link. 

You will see this screen: 

The students who were designated as SD IEP or SD 504 appear on this list. Check the box for 

each student that best describes the disability each student has. You may select more than one 

box. Click the Save and Continue button when you have finished. 

If you selected “Other Health Impairment (specify)”, your next screen will ask you to specify 

that disability. For each student listed, type your answer in the white box. Do not go into detail 

here about what is required to accommodate this impairment. You will be asked about this 

later. Click the Save and Continue button when you have finished. 
Next, you are asked to select the degree of severity of each student’s disability. The choices are 

Mild, Moderate, Profound/Severe, and Don’t Know. Select the appropriate choice from the 

drop-down list, and use the scroll bar at the right to see all students. Click the Save and 

Continue button when you have finished. 

Next, you will see a screen asking you to indicate at what grade level each student performs in a 

specific subject. The choices are: At or above grade level, One year below grade level, Two or 

more years below grade level, Not receiving Instruction in this subject, and Don’t know.

These questions will vary based on the subject(s) for which your school has been selected: 

If your school has been selected for TEL, you will only be asked at what grade level each student 

performs in Science. Click Save and Continue when you are finished. 

If your school has been selected to test in multiple subjects, the subjects will be divided on 

different screens. For example, all students sampled to take Social Studies will be grouped 

together on one screen. There, you’ll be asked at what grade level each student performs in 

Social Studies. Once you click Save and Continue, you will then be asked at what grade level 

each student performs in another subject. 
Your next screen (below) will ask how, according to each student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan, each 

student listed is assessed on the State/Standardized test in a specific subject. 

Again, if your school has been selected to test in multiple subjects, you will be asked about each 

subject on its own screen. Click Save and Continue when you are finished. 

If your school is a public school, please read the additional instructions regarding Alternate and 

Modified Assessments carefully. Your options are Without accommodations, With 

accommodations, With (your state’s) Modified Assessment, and With (your state’s) Alternate 

Assessment. 

If your school is a private school, your options are Without accommodations, With 

accommodations, With simplified or adapted test, and With Portfolio review. 

Without Accommodations: 
If, on the previous screen(s), you indicated that one or more students is assessed on the 

State/Standardized test for a specific subject without accommodations, your next screen 

(shown below), will ask if these students should also be tested on NAEP in that subject without 

accommodations. 

Again, if your school has been selected to test in multiple subjects, you will be asked about each 

subject on its own screen. 

For each student listed, click in the box under either Yes or No. Next, click Save and Continue. 

If you selected No for any student, you will then be asked you how each student should be 

tested on NAEP in that subject. To view a list of accommodations accepted by NAEP, place your 

mouse over the words “list of allowed accommodations.” In the drop-down list under the 

column How should this student be tested on NAEP? select either With accommodations 

allowed by NAEP, or Do not test. Click Save and Continue. 

If you selected With accommodations allowed by NAEP, skip the next few paragraphs; your 

next screen will ask you to select which accommodations each student requires. 

If you selected Do not test for any student, your next screen will prompt you to indicate why 

each student cannot be tested on NAEP in that specific subject. In the column labeled Why can 

student not be tested on NAEP?, select either Requires Accommodation(s) Not Allowed by 
NAEP, Takes the (State) Modified Assessment, Takes the (State) Alternate Assessment, or 

Other Reason (specify). 

If your school is a private school, your options here will be Requires Accommodation(s) Not 

Allowed by NAEP, Takes the Simplified or adapted test, Takes the Portfolio review, and Other 

Reason (specify). 

Click Save and Continue. 

If you selected Other Reason (specify), your next screen will ask you to type in the reason why 

each student cannot be tested on NAEP in that subject. When you have done so, click Save and 

Continue. 

If you selected Requires Accommodation(s) Not Allowed by NAEP, your next screen will ask 

you to specify which accommodations each student requires that are not allowed. Then click 

Save and Continue. 
If you selected Requires another accommodation (specify), your next screen will ask you to 

type in that other accommodation. Click Save and Continue to move on. 

With Accommodations: 

If you indicated that one or more students is assessed on the State/Standardized test for a 

specific subject with accommodations, your next screen will ask you to specify the 

accommodations that each student receives when he or she is tested in a specific subject. 

To begin, click on a student’s name.

If your school has been selected for Paper and Pencil, you will see the white box below. Check 

all accommodations that apply. To read more details about what an accommodation includes, 

place your cursor over the name of each accommodation, and a description will appear. 
Note that several of the accommodations will ask you to specify additional information. If, for 

example, a student requires as an accommodation an aide or familiar person to administer the 

test, or cueing to stay on task, you will be prompted to provide the name and email address of 

a person at your school who can administer the test or provide cueing to this student. We ask 

for the email address because we will email that aide or teacher directly with information about 

administering the assessment. 

If you indicate that a student will require breaks during the test, you’re asked about how often 

the student may need a break. If you choose Other, you will be asked to specify what other 

accommodation this student requires that is not on the list. 

When you have finished, click Save. The accommodations window should close, and the 

accommodation(s) you selected for this student should show up in the column labeled All 

Accommodations. 

When you have finished selected accommodations for all students listed, click Save and 

Continue. If your school has been selected to test in more than one subject for NAEP, you will 

next be asked to record accommodations each student receives in that specific subject. 
If your school has been selected for TEL, you will be asked about the accommodations each 

student receives when using computers or in Science. Click on each student’s name to select 

the appropriate accommodations. 
You’ll notice that this list is slightly different from the list above for Social Studies, because it 

includes Universal Design Elements. Click the check box beside each necessary accommodation, 

and then click Save to close the window. The accommodations(s) you selected for this student 

will show up to the right of his or her name. 

When you have finished specifying accommodations for each student on the list, click Save and 

Continue. 

Next, you will see a grid showing you the students selected for NAEP who require 

accommodations in a specific subject (Science, in the example below) and the accommodations 

you indicated that they require. Here, you are asked whether or not each student can take 

NAEP with only the accommodations allowed by NAEP. Click either Yes or No, and then Save 

and Continue. 

If you had clicked No for any student, your next screen would ask you how each student should 

be tested on NAEP in that subject. Your options would be Without Accommodations and Do 

Not Test. If you select Do Not Test and advance to the next screen, you will be asked to select a 

reason why: Requires Accommodation(s) Not Allowed by NAEP, Takes the (State) Modified 

Assessment, Takes the State Alternate Assessment. 
Note: If you selected Do Not Test and your school is a private school, your options on the 

following screen will be Requires Accommodations Not Allowed by NAEP, Takes the Simplified 

or adapted test, Takes the Portfolio review, and Other Reason (specify). 

If you selected Requires Accommodations Not Allowed by NAEP, you will be asked to specify 

which accommodation(s) each student requires that is not allowed. Click the drop-down list in 

the column labeled Accommodations Not Allowed, and select your answer. Your options are: 

Requires taking NAEP over several days, Requires questions reworded or simplified, Requires 

tape recording answers, Requires dictionary/thesaurus/spelling/grammar software, Requires 

another accommodation (specify). 

If you selected Requires another accommodation (specify) and advance to the next screen, you 

will be asked to type the other accommodation that is not allowed by NAEP. 

Click Save and Continue to move on. 

In our example, since we selected an Other accommodation (Takes test over several days) for 

Joshua Salas, we next see the following screen: 

If you selected an Other accommodation for any student, you will see this screen, which tells 

you that the listed accommodation may or may not be allowed by NAEP for the specified 

subject. You are told that your NAEP representative will review this accommodation and let you 

know if it is allowed by NAEP. 

Click Save and Continue to move on. 

Next, you are shown a summary screen that asks you to confirm how each student listed will be 

assessed on NAEP in the specified subject. In our example below, the top grid displays the three 

students who will be assessed on NAEP without accommodations in the regular session. The 

bottom grid displays the one student who will be assessed with accommodations in the regular 

session. To confirm each student, click in that student’s row under the column labeled 

Confirmed. When you are finished, click Save and Continue. 
If you wish to change a student’s accommodations or how he or she will be tested on NAEP, 

click in the Not Confirmed column in his or her row. In our example, let’s assume that we forgot 

to add an additional accommodation for Tatyanna Carr. We’ll select Not Confirmed for 

Tatyanna, but Confirm the other students listed. Clicking Save and Continue will advance you 

to a screen (below) where you’ll be able to make corrections. Here, you’ll be able to edit how a 

student is assessed on state/standardized tests, how he or she should be assessed on NAEP, 

and you’ll also be able to edit any accommodations. To edit Tatyanna’s accommodations, we’ll 

click on the Edit link in the column labeled “Do the accommodations need to be revised?” 

Clicking the Edit link brings up the white accommodations box, where you can select any 

additional accommodations for that student. Click Save when you are finished. 
Once you are finished with all revisions for all students listed, click the Save and Continue 

button. 

Since all students have been confirmed, you will next see the last page for this section, 

instructing you to click Finish to return to the Include Students landing page. 
Once you return to the Include Students landing page, you will notice a white check mark next 

to the link for Provide Information for Students with Disabilities. 
Include Students: Provide Information for English Language Learners 

Click on the link for Provide Information for English Language Learners. 

The first screen displays a table with the sampled English Language Learners. In the far right 

column labeled What is the student’s primary language, you are asked to indicate what each 

student’s primary language is. Click on the drop-down list and select either Spanish or Other. 

Do this for each student, and when you are finished, click Save and Continue. 

If you selected Other for a student’s primary language, your next screen will ask you to specify 

that language. If you did not select Other for any students, you will skip this screen. In the 

column labeled Other primary language (Specify), click in the white box and type each 

student’s primary language. When you have finished, click Save and Continue. 

Next, you are asked how long, including this year, each student has been receiving Academic 

Instruction Primarily in English (You’ll notice this phrase is underlined. To read more about 

what academic instruction primarily in English means, place your cursor over the underlined 
words). In the column labeled Academic Instruction Primarily in English, click on the dropdown list and select Does not receive academic instruction primarily in English, Less than 1 

year, 1 to 2 years, 2 to 3 years, 3 years or more, or Don’t know. When you have done this for 

each student, click Save and Continue. 

The next screen asks you at what grade level each student performs in a given subject. The 

phrase “grade level” is also underlined. Use your cursor to hover over the phrase and read 

about what is meant by grade level. 

As in the SD section, if your school has been selected for multiple subjects, you will be asked 

about each subject on its own screen. That is, the students sampled to take one subject will be 

grouped together on one screen, while other students sampled to take another subject (if 

applicable) will be grouped together on another screen. Since the three ELL students in our 

example have all been selected to take Social Studies, we are asked at what grade level each 

performs in Social Studies. 

Under the column labeled At what grade level does this student perform?, click on the dropdown list and select at what grade level each student performs in the specified subject. Your 

options are: At or above grade level; One year below grade level; Two or more years below 

grade level; Not receiving instruction in this subject; Don’t know. When you have selected an 

answer for each student listed, click Save and Continue. 
The next screen asks you to characterize each student’s English proficiency for each category 

listed: Listening comprehension in English, Reading English, Speaking English, and Writing 

English. To read more about what is meant by “English proficiency,” use your cursor to hover 

over the underlined phrase. 

Select the drop-down list in each column and select each student’s level of English proficiency 

for that category. For each item, the levels of English proficiency are: ELL advanced, ELL 

intermediate, ELL beginning, No proficiency, and Don’t know. When you have finished, click 

Save and Continue. 

Next, you are asked to indicate how long each student has been enrolled in U.S. schools, 

keeping in mind that one full academic year is defined as one full school year before the 

assessment. In the column labeled How long has this student been enrolled in U.S. schools?, 

click on the drop-down list and select either 1 full academic year or more before the NAEP 

assessment or Less than 1 full academic year before the NAEP assessment. When you have 

finished, click Save and Continue. 
If you selected that a student has been enrolled in U.S. schools for less than one full year before 

the NAEP assessment, your next screen will ask if that student should be tested on NAEP. 

According to NAEP’s inclusion policy, these students should be excluded from NAEP. Click in the 

column under No and then Save and Continue. 

Next, you are asked to specify whether or not each ELL student needs accommodations to be 

tested in the specified subject. 

Again, if your school has been selected for more than one subject, you will be asked about each 

subject on separate screens. 

For each student, click in the box for either the Yes or No column. When you are finished, click 

Save and Continue.
If you selected No, indicating that a student does not need accommodations to be tested in a 

particular subject, you will next be asked if that student should be tested on NAEP in that 

subject without accommodations. Click in the box for either Yes or No, and then click Save and 

Continue. 

If you selected Yes for the screen pictured above, skip ahead in the guide to the bottom of page 

74. 

If you selected No for the screen pictured above, you will next be asked how that student 

should be tested on NAEP. In the drop-down list, your options are With accommodations 

allowed by NAEP, and Do not test. Click Save and Continue. 

If you selected Do not test, your next screen will ask you to provide a reason why. Your options 

are Requires Accommodation(s) Not Allowed by NAEP, Enrolled in U.S. schools less than 1 full 

academic year, and Other reason (specify). Click Save and Continue. 
If you selected Other reason (specify), your next screen will ask you to type that reason in the 

white box. Click Save and Continue when you have done so. 

If you selected Requires Accommodation(s) Not Allowed by NAEP, your next screen will ask 

you to specify which accommodation that a student requires that is not allowed. Select your 

answer from the drop-down list and click Save and Continue. If you selected Requires another 

accommodation (specify), your next screen will ask you to type that other accommodation in 

the white box. 

If you indicated that a student does need accommodations to be tested in a particular subject, 

you will next be asked to specify those accommodations. To begin, click on a student’s name. 

Check all accommodations that apply. To read more details about what an accommodation 

includes, place your cursor over the name of each accommodation, and a description will 

appear. 
As with the previous section regarding students with disabilities, note that several of the 

accommodations here will ask you to specify additional information. If you choose Other, you 

will be asked to specify. 

Also note that if your school has been selected for TEL, you will see a different list of 

accommodations: 
When you have finished, click Save. The accommodations window should close, and the 

accommodation(s) you selected for this student should show up in the column labeled All 

Accommodations. (For TEL, this column will be titled All Accommodations and Universal 

Design Elements.)

When you have finished selecting accommodations for all students listed, click Save and 

Continue. Again, if your school has been selected to test in more than one subject for NAEP, 

you will next be asked to record accommodations each sampled student receives in that 

specific subject. 

If you selected an Other accommodation that may or may not be allowed by NAEP for a specific 

subject, your next screen will tell you that your NAEP representative will review this 

accommodation with you and let you know if it is allowed. Click Save and Continue to move on. 
If you did not select an Other accommodation in the previous screen(s), you’re next asked if 

each student listed can be tested on NAEP in a specific subject with only the allowed 

accommodations. Click either Yes or No for each student, and then Save and Continue. 

If you selected Yes, that a student can be tested on NAEP in that subject with only those 

accommodations, your next screen will summarize how the ELL students will be assessed on 

NAEP in the specified subject. You are asked to confirm that each student listed is correct. 

 In our example, Angela Vasquez will be assessed on NAEP in U.S. History without
