Applications for the NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program remain open through February 1. Now in its ninth year, the program will select a new cohort of interns for this paid opportunity to work directly with NAEP researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR).

The NAEP R&D team is ringing in the new year by sharing a new journal article from NAEP researchers that will serve as a useful resource for those looking to learn more about analyzing NCES datasets like NAEP’s.

Looking Back on NAEP R&D in 2024

Published On Friday, December 27, 2024

The NAEP research community was hard at work in 2024 exploring new ways to deepen our understanding of student academic achievement and assessment in the United States. We here at the NAEP R&D Hub have shared it all along the way, highlighting the work of innovative researchers (especially in emergent fields such as AI), disseminating news about new and improved tools for researchers, and bringing awareness to relevant conference opportunities and presentations. As we enjoy the holiday season and look forward to a new year and new NAEP internship opportunities, we’d like to look back on some of the NAEP R&D Hub highlights of 2024.

In October 2024, the NAEP Validity Studies (NVS) panel published An Exploration of Opportunity to Learn and Implications for NAEP, a white paper co-authored by Sheila W. Valencia, James W. Pellegrino, and Richard P. Durán. The white paper explores the relationship between opportunities to learn and the interpretation of NAEP results as well as how the concept and indicators of opportunities to learn could be expanded upon to include more recent thinking around social contexts for learning in the classroom.

A Simple Expression of Gratitude

Published On Friday, November 29, 2024

This holiday season, our NAEP R&D community has the chance to reflect on the many moments we've shared throughout the year. From the opportunities to share new research at conferences to the joy of meeting and connecting with new colleagues through our NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program and NAEP Data Training Workshop, we are reminded of the commitment to education and evidence that define us.
