The Center for Process Data has finished work on the 2017 grade 4 NAEP mathematics process data. The data are now available under a restricted-use data license to researchers who apply and request access.

Paul Bailey and Blue Webb, members of the EdSurvey team, recently published an article, “Expanding NAEP and TIMSS Analysis to Include Additional Variables or a New Scoring Model Using the R Package Dire.” Featured in the journal Psych in its special issue on computational psychometrics, this article showcases the new Dire software and its utility for ushering in a new era of data use at the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

In June 2023, NAEP Validity Studies (NVS) panelist Dr. Gerunda B. Hughes of Howard University published a white paper exploring the history and equity issues of NAEP and making recommendations for improving “equitable measurement and reporting in NAEP.”
