U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings Selects Members for the National Assessment Governing Board

From Education Newsfeed:

U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced the appointment and re-appointment of six National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) members.

The 26-member governing board develops policy guidance for the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the only continuing assessment of what students have learned in various subjects.

The board is involved in a number of activities, including selecting the subjects to be tested, identifying learning objectives for each grade tested, identifying appropriate achievement goals and ensuring that all items selected for use in the assessment are free from racial, cultural, gender or regional bias.

The independent, bipartisan board was established by the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988.

The board must include governors or former governors, legislators, educators, testing experts and curriculum specialists, as well as business and industry representatives, parents and persons representing the general public.
