Abstract
The U.S. Department of Education has not yet published an official guidance document for using NAEP achievement level scores to confirm state testing results. A review of the literature, however, identified four principles that inform the valid use of NAEP scores in a confirming analysis. These principles address the appropriate NAEP statistic to use to confirm state testing results, the difference between NAEP and state definitions of “proficiency,” a rationale for avoiding point-bypoint comparisons, and a rationale for using trend analysis.
