The National Assessment of Educational Progress
◦ Consists of data collected by individual school districts so they may assess their teachers.
◦ Reported in 2013 that less than half of all fourth- and eighth-graders performed on a standardized mathematics test at the desirable levels of "proficient" or "advanced."
◦ Showed dramatic decreases in U.S. mathematics scores over the last 30 years.
◦ Produced results in 2009 that indicated U.S. students would likely reach the goal required by No Child Left Behind legislation that all students perform at or above a proficient level by 2014.
