R&D Hub

This month, the NAEP R&D team had a chance to catch up with 2019 NAEP Data Training Workshop participant Kenneth Elpus to learn about his research in music education using NAEP data. Elpus spoke with us about his 2022 paper in the Journal of Research in Music Education, “Middle School Music Uptake and Achievement: Evidence From the 2016 Arts National Assessment of Educational Progress,” as well as his experience in the NAEP Data Training Workshop and how it informed and aided his research.

In mid-January, the NAEP R&D Program hosted the Winter 2023 NAEP Data Training Workshop in person for the first time since February 2020. In this post, we take a look back at the highlights of these three jam-packed days of training with large-scale student-level NAEP data.

2022 was a busy year for the NAEP R&D program, and we are staying busy in 2023! In this post, we preview some of the workshops, conferences, and research presentations coming up this year.

The NAEP R&D Program stayed busy in 2022, making strides on a wide variety of fronts. As the year comes to a close, let’s look back at some of the progress and achievements made in 2022.

At NAEP Day 2022 this past Monday, October 24, the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) presented the 2022 NAEP Mathematics and Reading results, providing the most comprehensive picture to date of the pandemic’s impact on student achievement.
