  4. 8th Grade Reading: Recent Gap Narrowing for Blacks, Less for Latinos *Denotes previous assessment format NAEP 2008 Trends in Academic Progress, NCES

  5. 8th Grade Math: Progress for All Groups, Some Gap Narrowing *Denotes previous assessment format NAEP 2008 Trends in Academic Progress, NCES

  6. Yes, no matter which of the national exams (“NAEP”) you look at, the suggestion that funding is up and results are flat is wrong.

  7. Math achievement rising over time • Source:NAEP Data Explorer, NCES

  8. Rising achievement, narrowing gaps • Source:NAEP Data Explorer, NCES

  9. Rising achievement, some gap narrowing • Note: Includes students with Section 504 plans • Source:NAEP Data Explorer, NCES

  10. Gains Are Not Just Among Low-Achievers: Increase at the Top, Too Hanushek, Peterson and Woesmann. “US Math Performance in Global Perspective; November, 2010

  11. Texas?Even more progress than most!

  12. NAEP Grade 4 Reading – Latino Students States with the Biggest Gains in Mean Scale Scores (2003 – 2009) Note: Data refer to the increase in mean scale scores from 2003 to 2009. Nationwide, mean scale scores in reading for Latino fourth-grade students increased by 5 points from 2003 to 2009. Source: National Center for Education Statistics, NAEP Data Explorer

  13. NAEP Grade 4 Reading – African American Students States with the Biggest Gains in Mean Scale Scores (2003 – 2009) Note: Data refer to the increase in mean scale scores from 2003 to 2009. Nationwide, mean scale scores in reading for African American fourth-grade students increased by 7 points from 2003 to 2009. Source: National Center for Education Statistics, NAEP Data Explorer

  14. NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics – African American Students States with the Biggest Gains in Mean Scale Scores (2003 – 2009) Note: Data refer to the increase in mean scale scores from 2003 to 2009. Nationwide, mean scale scores in math for African American eighth-grade students increased by 8 points from 2003 to 2009. Source: National Center for Education Statistics, NAEP Data Explorer

  15. What do these changes mean for individual children?

  18. More low-income students are performing at higher levels today than in 1996 NAEP Data Explorer, NCES

  19. Bottom Line: When we really focus on something, we make progress!

  20. Clearly, much more remains to be done in elementary and middle school Too many youngsters still enter high school way behind.

  21. But at least we have some traction on elementary and middle school problems. The same is NOT true of our high schools.

  22. Achievement Flat in Reading NAEP Long-Term Trends, NCES (2004)

  23. Math achievement flat over time * Denotes previous assessment format National Center for Education Statistics, NAEP 2008 Trends in Academic Progress

  24. And gaps between groups are mostly wider today than in late eighties, early nineties

  25. 12th Grade Reading: No Progress, Gaps Wider than 1988 *Denotes previous assessment format NAEP 2008 Trends in Academic Progress, NCES

  26. 12 Grade Math: Results Mostly FlatGaps Same or Widening *Denotes previous assessment format NAEP 2008 Trends in Academic Progress, NCES
