The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Governing Board is currently in the process of reviewing and updating the NAEP Science Assessment Framework, which was last updated in 2005. 

Any updates will be implemented for the 2028 administration of the NAEP Science Assessment. 

As part of the process, a working draft of the recommended updates is made available for public review and feedback before review, revision and final approval from the Governing Board. Input from NAEP’s diverse range of stakeholders is an essential part of the process to update NAEP assessment frameworks. 

The public comment period opened on March 13 and closes on April 17. The Governing Board values constructive feedback from all NAEP stakeholders and seeks to gather a wide range of perspectives as part of the public comment period. 

To be considered by the Steering and Development panels, all feedback must be submitted through this formal submission process. All feedback must be received via the form by 10:59 p.m. central time.
