On Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 6:30 pm NSTA will host a web seminar that will review the newly released National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2009 Science report. With the recent release of the PISA report showing that U.S. students maintain an average understanding of science compared to students around the world, we expect the NAEP report will be met with much anticipation. The NAEP report gives a detailed assessment of what American students know and can do in science. The report breaks down the findings by regional and student demographics such as state results, school locale, race/ethnicity, gender, etc. Arnold Goldstein, Program Director for Design, Analysis, and Reporting in the Assessment Division and Emmanuel Sikali, the Senior Research Scientist and Director of Training Programs for the National Center for Education Statistics will lead attendees through the fundamentals of NAEP, highlighting student results and how NAEP can be used in the classroom. The web seminar is free and open to any that are interested.
