"The national Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation's students know and can do. NAEP is congressionally mandated and was first administered in 1969 to measure student achievement nationally. The results of NAEP are released as the Nation's Report Card and are used to develop ways to improve education in the United States"--cf [p. 10].
