Long Term Trend 2022 Content of the MyNAEP System
OMB# 1850-0928 v.32
February 2022
revised July 2022
This Appendix F2 (formerly Appendix I4) was used in the 2022 Long-Term Trend Age 13 administration and reflected the MyNAEP system screens used by schools to communicate with and transmit information to NAEP. A newer version of MyNAEP, now known as the Assessment Management System (AMS), is replacing this older MyNAEP system across all NAEP assessments. NAEP is currently updating the AMS in preparation for 2025 LTT. As such, the new AMS screens are not yet available for this Clearance Package. The screens and text in this Appendix F2 will be adapted for 2025 LTT Amendment #2 and will be available for review in Appendix F in Summer 2024. See also Appendix F1 for more on the forthcoming Appendix F.

Description of MyNAEP: The school coordinators are responsible for preparing for the Long-term trend (LTT) assessment in their school using the MyNAEP system, which is an online secure site that provides participating schools with a convenient way to prepare for the upcoming assessment. MyNAEP serves as the primary resource and action center throughout the assessment process. The site also offers school coordinators an electronic way to prepare for the assessment at their own pace. The NAEP field representative will schedule an initial call to pre-review the major areas of the MyNAEP system with the school coordinator. A description of the tasks completed in the MyNAEP system can be found in Part B. The content of the MyNAEP system is included in this appendix.

Sample of information included in the worksheet and summary report (note the worksheet is a resource to assist school coordinator in collecting the information that will be contained in the summary report)
Note: In this section the school coordinator will provide information to determine how students participate in NAEP (i.e., without accommodations, with accommodations, or do not test). The school coordinator will provide the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) disability status, English proficiency, primary language, grade-level performance, and accommodations, using the state-specific NAEP inclusion policies (see Appendices D3-16 and D3-17 for templates of the SD and EL inclusion policies, which are customized by the NAEP State Coordinators). The purpose of providing this information is to make sure students have appropriate supports to access the NAEP assessment.
Prepare for Assessment
Complete SD/EL Student Information
To ensure that NAEP reflects the educational progress of all students, students with disabilities (SD) and English learners (EL) must be included to the fullest extent possible.
NAEP provides accommodations only for SD and EL. Therefore, this section only includes students whose SD status is "Yes, IEP" or "Yes, 504" or EL status is "Yes, EL." Changes to these status codes can only be made in the Review and Verify List of Students Selected for NAEP section.
The information that you provide in this section indicates how students will participate in NAEP and the accommodations they will receive.

What Is NAEP?
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in core subjects. NAEP is congressionally mandated, and was first administered in 1969 to measure student achievement nationally. Teachers, principals, parents, policymakers, and researchers all use NAEP results to assess progress and develop ways to improve education in the United States.
For more information, visit http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard or contact the NAEP help desk at 1-800-283-NAEP (6237) or by email at NAEPHelp@westat.com.

Student not eligible to participate: Student is not eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Free lunch: Student is eligible for free lunch. Schools participating in Provisions 2 or 3 of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) should code all students as “free lunch.”
If it is not possible to distinguish between “free” and “reduced price” for some students, code these students as eligible for free lunch.
Reduced price lunch: Student is eligible for reduced-price lunch.
School not participating: School does not participate in the NSLP. When used, this code must be applied to all students.
Review and verify classifications of Students with Disabilities (SD) and English Learners (EL)
Please indicate each student’s SD/EL classification with these codes.
Students with disabilities (SD):
Yes, IEP: Student has a formal Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or the student’s IEP is in progress.
Yes, 504: Student has a 504 plan and needs accommodations to participate in NAEP. If the student does not need accommodations to be tested on NAEP, classify the student as No, not SD.
No, not SD: Student does not have an IEP
English learners (EL):
Yes, EL: A student who has not achieved full English proficiency, and is in the process of acquiring English language skills and knowledge. Some schools refer to these students as limited English proficient (LEP).
No, Formerly EL: A student who has achieved full English proficiency, is monitored, and is included in EL subgroup for accountability reporting for 2 years (or 4 years depending on state policy) after exiting.

Subject: Policy on Limited Disclosure of Children's Eligibility Information to NAEP
As stated in the Eligibility Manual for School Meals (Section 5 - Confidentiality and Disclosure, Disclosure Requirements), school food authorities may disclose, without parent/guardian consent, children’s names and eligibility status (whether they are eligible for free meals or free milk or reduced price meals) to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of a Federal or State education program, such as NAEP, as permitted by section 9(b)(6)(A)(ii)(I) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
The relevant section from page 88 of the Eligibility Manual for School Meals is shown below:
Because NAEP is a Federal education program, LEAs may disclose, without parent or guardian consent, children’s names and eligibility status to persons directly connected to the administration or enforcement of NAEP. Additionally, LEAs may disclose children’s names and eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of State educational assessment programs to the extent the State assessment is part of the NAEP. Other State education programs may access participants' names and eligibility status, without parent or guardian consent. However, in both situations, the program must be established at the State (not local) level.
The term “persons directly connected” for the purpose of disclosure to NAEP includes Federal, State, and local program operators responsible for NAEP administration or compliance, and their contractors. This does not imply that these persons have routine access to participants' eligibility status. There must be a "need to know" relating to the administration or enforcement of a Federal education program or for legitimate NAEP purposes.

Inclusion on NAEP
Students with Disabilities and English learners
WHAT IS NAEP?
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in core subjects such as mathematics and reading.
NAEP is congressionally mandated, and was first administered in 1969 to measure student achievement nationally. Teachers, principals, parents, policymakers, and researchers all use NAEP results to assess progress and develop ways to improve education in the United States.
The Importance of Inclusion
The responses of students with disabilities and English learners on NAEP represent those of hundreds of other similar students. Without them, information about how to best meet the educational needs of these students would be lost. NAEP incorporates inclusive policies and practices into every aspect of the assessment, including selection of students, participation in the assessment administration, and valid and effective accommodations. Such best practices are essential to ensuring an inclusive assessment that yields meaningful NAEP results for all students with disabilities and English learners. By representing their peers across the nation on NAEP, students with disabilities and English learners help to ensure that NAEP results can be used to inform efforts to improve educational programs.
To ensure that the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reflects the educational progress of all students, students with disabilities and English learners must be included to the fullest extent possible.
Selection
Students with disabilities and English learners are selected to participate in NAEP just like any other student. NAEP is administered to a sample of students who represent the student population of the nation as a whole and of individual states and districts participating in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA). Within each selected school and grade to be assessed, students are chosen at random to participate in NAEP. Regardless of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, status as an English learner, or any other factors, every student has the same chance of being chosen.

For More Information Contact your NAEP State Coordinator with specific questions about including students with disabilities and English learners. Details of the National Assessment Governing Board’s policy on testing and reporting results on students with disabilities and English learners on NAEP are available at https://www.nagb.gov/content/dam/nagb/en/documents/publications/inclusion-special-population-naep.pdf. http://www.nagb.org/ publications/inclusion- special-population-naep.pdf. Current NAEP accommodations and inclusion policies are posted on the website at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/inclusion.asp.
Participation
Many students with disabilities and English learners are able to participate in the assessment administration alongside their peers.
Participating in NAEP allows students with disabilities and English learners to experience a large-scale assessment administration without high-stakes consequences. Since NAEP does not produce scores for individual students or results for schools, participation in NAEP is not tied to grades or evaluations of students, teachers, or schools.
Accommodations
Students with disabilities and English learners are provided with testing accommodations so that they can demonstrate their content knowledge and skills on NAEP. NAEP offers a comprehensive set of accommodations to increase access to testing for students with disabilities and English learners. To ensure that appropriate accommodations are determined for individual students, NAEP relies on school staff to make inclusion and accommodations decisions for those students selected for the assessment.
The accommodations allowed on NAEP and those allowed in states are often similar, but there may be some differences. Sometimes these differences result from the way that the subject being measured is defined in the NAEP frameworks. For example, NAEP does not allow read-aloud of any part of the NAEP reading test except the instructions, because decoding words is part of what the NAEP framework is measuring.
Your NAEP State Coordinator has developed inclusion guidelines for including students with disabilities and English learners on NAEP and provided them to schools selected for the assessment. These instructions will highlight any differences between NAEP and your state’s policies and provide guidance on how to include and accommodate sampled students.
