2. Race to the Top - NAEP Florida’s Key Goal #3 Increase the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient on NAEP by 2015, to or beyond the performance levels of the highest-performing states. Florida aims to go beyond setting goals for moving students to basic levels on NAEP, focusing on moving more students to proficiency and advanced levels. 2

7. ELL and SD Participation in NAEP Allows SD and ELLs to experience a large-scale assessment administration w/o high-stakes consequences SD and ELLs are provided with accommodations so they can demonstrate their content knowledge and skills on NAEP NAEP does not allow the use of a word- to-word dictionary on NAEP Reading 7

8. Pre-Pilot of Technology and Engineering Literacy (TEL) Tasks 8 Will take approximately 90 minutes to complete 30 students per school Two sessions of 15 students per school Last 2 weeks in March (March 19 – March 30, 2012) Students will take 2-3 scenario-based tasks on a computer provided by NAEP Tasks are designed to be 10, 20, or 30 minutes long Approximately 10 schools in Florida will be selected to participate

9. Technology and Engineering Literacy Framework for the 2014 NAEP The assessment targets are organized into three major areas of technology and engineering literacy, each corresponding to a broad body of knowledge and skills with which students should be familiar 9 http://www.nagb.org/publications/frameworks/prepub_naep_tel_framework_2014.pdf

10. Best Practices Guides Will be provided to the 24 schools participating in the Grade 12 NAEP and the 21 schools participating in the 17-year-old LTT Will be mailed mid-November either to the district office or directly to the schools, as designated by the DAC Purpose is to provide motivational materials to encourage the older students to participate in the assessment in a meaningful way 10

11. NAEP Assessment Schedule 2013 and 2014 2013 – TUDA, State, and National Reading and Mathematics, grades 4 and 8.
