Using NAEP to confirm state test results in NCLB

 Since the day that the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2005 reading results were released, they have been used in a plethora of flawed attempts to confirm the results of state reading tests required by the No Child Left Behind Act, says Idaho NAEP state coordinator Bert Stoneberg. With that in mind, Stoneberg wrote a short paper about four principles that contribute to a valid use of NAEP scores to confirm state test results. The paper appeared in the electronic journal Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation 12(5).
