In September 2008, ACT was awarded a contract by the National Assessment Governing Board to set achievement levels for the 2009 NAEP in science for grades 4, 8, and 12. As an integral part of monitoring the national education goals, the setting of achievement levels for our nation's youth is vitally important to the continued improvement of our nation's educational system. The results of these studies will be used for reporting NAEP results to the American public.
Seeking Comments on Standard Setting Design and Outcomes
As part of the standard setting process, ACT has also been charged with collecting public comment from a broad spectrum of groups and individuals concerned with the design of the standard setting procedures as well as the outcomes of the process.
If you are interested in reviewing and commenting on our standard setting process or results, please submit comments.
