Exploring ways to facilitate estimation of mean NAEP achievement of schools

• In Event: Alternative Ways of Estimating Performance in Large Scale Assessments

Abstract

Motivated by the prospect of facilitating school-centric instead of student-centric reporting with NAEP data, our study finds that a technique involving the use of school-level plausible values generates mean achievement estimates for groups of schools that approximate benchmark values of achievement estimated through multilevel regression modeling
