Achievement levels are important yardsticks in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) program. In this document, we provide a detailed description of the plausible value method and demonstrate the method by replicating the analyses using SAS and comparing the replicated analysis results with those produced with NAEP Data Explorer. ...
The National Assessment Governing Board has recently turned increased attention towards the NAEP achievement levels and associated achievement level descriptors. This white paper offers two specific contributions for NAGB to consider as they move forward with plans to develop evidence to support removal of the trial status of the NAEP ...
The released EdSurvey Version 3.1 is an R statistical package tailored to processing large-scale education data with appropriate procedures to analyze these data efficiently, taking into account their complex sample survey design and the use of plausible values.
This series of modules Using CBM in a Response to Intervention Framework, provides information about how student progress monitoring, specifically Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM), can be used to determine a student’s response to an intervention.
EdSurvey is an R statistical package developed by AIR commissioned by the National Center for Educational Assessment (NCES). EdSurvey is tailored to the processing and analysis of NCES large-scale education data with appropriate procedures. Here is how to get started with EdSurvey:

The persistent achievement gap between Black and White students has frustrated educators, parents, and policymakers for decades. In this blog post, Sami Kitmitto and George Bohrnstedt discuss a recent AIR study for the National Center for Education Statistics that highlights the potentially detrimental effect of school segregation. ...
This paper presents the results of a study that linked scale scores from the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) to compare grade 8 performance in science and mathematics in the United States and TIMSS countries, using the NAEP ...
State achievement standards represent how much the state expects their students to learn in order to reach various levels of academic proficiency. This report uses national benchmarking as a common metric to examine state achievement standards and compare how high these standards are compared to the National Assessment of Educational ...
The purpose of this study is to estimate the extent to which state assessment scores can be used to improve the adjustments of NAEP data to remove the biases due to absences.
The AIR study for the first time uses the standards set by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) - known as the nation's "report card" - to measure how U.S. students compare in mathematics and science with students in foreign countries, based on data in the Third International Mathematics ...
