Measuring Student Progress for 40
Years NAEP began in 1964 with a grant from the Carnegie
Corporation to set up the Exploratory Committee for the Assessment of
Progress in Education. The first national assessments were conducted in 1969.
Voluntary assessments for states began in 1990 on a trial basis, and in 2002
and 2003, selected urban districts participated in the assessment on a trial
basis.
In 2003, the first NCLB mandated NAEP assessments in
reading and mathematics were administered.
