The latest results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) – often called the nation’s report card – paint a troubling picture of academic stagnation and widening achievement gaps among American students.

In a special episode, Harvard University professor and nationally recognized testing policy expert Daniel Koretz joins CPRE Executive Director Jonathan Supovitz to break down the latest NAEP data, and its implications for student outcomes, equity, and education policy.

Koretz and Supovitz also discuss the potential value and the future of the assessment in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
