NAEP Validity Studies Panel

The NAEP Validity Studies Panel (VSP) is a group that evaluates the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests to ensure they accurately measure student knowledge and skills. This panel examines the content, design, and outcomes of assessments, offering recommendations to improve their validity and reliability. Their work helps ensure that NAEP results genuinely reflect students’ abilities and can inform educational policies effectively. By doing so, the VSP contributes to enhancing the quality of education in the United States, ensuring that assessments are meaningful and useful for educators and policymakers.
