EdSurvey

EdSurvey is an R statistical package designed for the analysis of national and international education data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). EdSurvey is a free resource, tailored to the processing and analysis of NCES large-scale education data—including NAEP—with appropriate procedures to analyze these data efficiently, taking into account their complex sample survey design and the use of plausible values.

How this work supports NAEP

The EdSurvey R statistical package addresses Phase 7 (Analyze and Report the Results) of the NAEP assessment process. EdSurvey meets the strategic vision to Inform, Innovate, & Engage by expanding “the availability, utility and use of NAEP.” Training offered under the NAEP R&D program can “strengthen and expand partnerships by broadening stakeholders’ awareness of NAEP and facilitating their use NAEP resources.”
