- Description
- The National Assessment Governing Board has a requirement to conduct research to enable the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to make valid statements about the academic preparedness of 12th grade students in reading and mathematics for college course work or for entry in job training programs. The objectives of this procurement are (1) to design a comprehensive and multi-method evaluation of the grade 12 NAEP frameworks and item pools in both reading and mathematics as measures of academic preparedness for college and job training; and (2) based on the evaluation, to produce specific recommendations for changes that may be required to develop NAEP for 12th graders in reading and mathematics as valid measures of academic preparedness for placement in first year college courses without remediation in the subject areas and entry in job training programs that require at least three months of post-secondary training, but not a bachelor's degree in college. The Board seeks innovative, practicable design proposals for evaluations and information collections that will provide the foundation needed to make valid statements about academic preparedness. Central to the validity of reporting preparedness of students on the NAEP grade 12 scale for reading and for mathematics is confirmation that the assessments actually measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for students to be academically prepared for college course work or for entry in job training programs. The Request for Proposals is anticipated to be issued no later than September 30, 2012. This is a new procurement pursuant to the Governing Board's 12th Grade Preparedness Research Program. The contract period of performance is planned to be 24 months. Clarification questions on this notice shall be submitted no later than 9:00 a.m. ET on September 17, 2012
