Using NAEP for Interstate Comparisons: The Beginnings of a "National Achievement Test" and "National Curriculum".
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ferrara, Steven F.; Thornton, Stephen J. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1988
Current plans to use National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results to compare and rank states may lead to a perception of NAEP as a national achievement test representing a national curriculum. NAEP procedures should be reformulated to enhance curriculum coherence, instruction, and participation by local and state educators. (TJH)
