NAEP Frameworks

The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) is an independent, bipartisan advisory board that includes governors, legislators, educators, and business representatives. THE NAGB selects the academic subject areas to be assessed on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and develops the content standards for those subjects. Content experts from the Indiana Department of Education have the opportunity to review all test questions prior to inclusion on the assessment.

To view information about NAEP policies, test development, history and current legislation about the national assessment, please visit www.nagb.org.

To view the content standards (Frameworks) for the subjects assessed by NAEP, go to www.nagb.org and select "About NAEP" below the main bullets.
