Instructions for Completing Worksheets for English Language Learners (ELL)
(Please review these instructions before completing the ELL Worksheets)

Frequently Asked Questions
What information is collected on the ELL Worksheets?
The ELL Worksheet records
how each ELL student is assessed in the state academic assessment in the NAEP subject the student is
selected to take (front of the worksheet),
whether each student can participate in NAEP with the accommodations allowed for the NAEP subject
(front of the worksheet), and
each student’s English language proficiency and grade-level performance (back of the worksheet).
School personnel will make the final determination on how ELL students are included in the
NAEP assessment.
If you need clarification for completing the worksheet, please contact your NAEP state
coordinator (public schools) or your NAEP representative (private schools).

What if the NAEP subject is not tested on the state academic assessment?
If the NAEP subject is not tested on the state academic assessment, the person completing the worksheet
should refer to how the student is tested or receives instruction in the classroom.
For example, if the NAEP subject listed is “S” for science and this subject is not tested on the state
academic assessment, the person completing the worksheet should know how the student is tested or
receives instruction in the classroom in a science class.

Who should complete the worksheet?
The person completing the front of the worksheet should be the person at your school most knowledgeable
about how the student is tested in the state academic assessment in the subject listed in column B on the front
of the worksheet.
For example, if the NAEP subject listed is “M” for mathematics, the person completing the worksheet
should know how the student is tested in the state academic assessment in mathematics.
This person may be a school testing coordinator, ELL coordinator, or a classroom teacher.
The person completing the back of the worksheet should be the person at your school most knowledgeable
about the student’s English language proficiency and grade-level performance.

What if an ELL student is withdrawn or graduated, never attends campus (e.g., homeschooled),
or is otherwise ineligible for NAEP (e.g., not enrolled in the sampled grade)?
Draw a line through that student’s name, record a note in column G and leave the rest of the
worksheet blank for that student.
What should I do with the worksheet(s) when I’m finished?
Return all completed worksheets to the NAEP school coordinator by the date requested.
If you are the school coordinator, put the completed worksheets in the NAEP Storage Envelope. Your
NAEP representative will collect them at the preassessment visit.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid
OMB control number for this information collection is 1850-0790. The time required to complete
this information collection is estimated to average 10 minutes per student including the time to review
instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the
information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time
estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Instructions for Completing Worksheets for English Language Learners (ELL)
Writing Computer-based Assessment and Mathematics Computer-based Study
(Please review these instructions before completing the ELL Worksheets)

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Writing Computer-based Assessment and the Mathematics Computer-based Study?
The NAEP Writing Framework requires students in grades 8 and 12 to write using word processing software with
commonly available tools for editing, formatting, and text analysis. The mathematics computer-based study is
being conducted at grade 8 only and is designed to evaluate adaptive testing using computers. Both assessments
will be administered using NAEP-provided, stand-alone laptops with specialized software. There will be a short
tutorial on how to use the specialized software prior to the assessments. All student work will be stored in a secure
manner without student identifiable information. The NAEP specialized software for students does not use the
Internet. All students taking a NAEP computer-based assessment must use the NAEP-supplied equipment.

What information is collected on the ELL Worksheets?
The ELL Worksheet records
how each ELL student is assessed on the state academic assessment in the NAEP subject with or without
using a computer (front of the worksheet),
whether each student can participate in NAEP with the allowed accommodations using a computer (front
of the worksheet), and
each student’s English language proficiency and grade-level performance (back of the worksheet).
School personnel will make the final determination on how ELL students are included in the NAEP
assessment.
If you need clarification for completing the worksheet, please contact your NAEP state coordinator
(public schools) or your NAEP representative (private schools).

What if the NAEP subject is not tested on the state academic assessment?
If the NAEP subject is not tested in the state academic assessment, the person completing the worksheet should
refer to how the student is tested or receives instruction in the classroom in the NAEP subject with or without
using a computer.

Who should complete the worksheet?
The person completing the front of the worksheet should be the person at your school most knowledgeable about
how the student is tested in the state academic assessment in the NAEP subject listed in column B on the front of
the worksheet.
This person may be a school testing coordinator, ELL coordinator, or classroom teacher.
The person completing the back of the worksheet should be the person at your school most knowledgeable about
the student’s English language proficiency and grade-level performance.

What if an ELL student is withdrawn or graduated, never attends campus, or is otherwise
ineligible for NAEP (e.g., not enrolled in the sampled grade)?
Draw a line through that student’s name, record a note in column G and leave the rest of the worksheet
blank for that student.
What should I do with the worksheet(s) when I’m finished?
Return all completed worksheets to the NAEP school coordinator by the date requested.
If you are the school coordinator, put the completed worksheets in the NAEP Storage Envelope. Your
NAEP representative will collect it at the preassessment visit.
