A History of the National Assessment of Educational Progress and Some Questions about Its Future.
Jones, Lyle V.
Educational Researcher, v25 n7 p15-22 Oct 1996
Presents a history of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), focusing on procedural changes from 1969 to date and questions whether NAEP results should be used for accountability purposes. It recommends that NAEP should be insulated from reform efforts and that NAEP's monitoring of population levels of educational achievement merit high priority. (GR)
