NCES held the NAEP Math Automated Scoring Challenge in spring 2023, inviting anyone eligible for NCES secure data access to use algorithms and automated scoring techniques to predict the scores given by human raters to open-ended responses to 10 released NAEP mathematics assessment items. The results of this challenge (as well as those of the prior challenge using reading assessment items) are now available in a brief preprint.

NAEP Researcher Dr. Juanita Hicks was recently invited to Norway to present NAEP process data at a workshop on Academic Resilience (AR) along with others from the international research community. The workshop, which is the first in a series, is part of a grant awarded to Dr. Nani Teig, associate professor at the University of Oslo, Norway through the Centre for Advanced Studies Fellowship Program.

As the 2022 cohort of NAEP doctoral interns begin their internships, we take a look at some of the research being conducted and presented by the 2021 cohort.
