Known as the Nation's Report Card, the NAEP assessments are
administered every two years by the U.S. Department of Education's National
Center for Education Statistics, and the exams serve as a way to benchmark
student performance.
Key findings include:
(1) Students often use technology for basic skills.
(2) States are not looking at what sort of outcomes they are
getting for their technology spending
(3) Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to
have access to more rigorous STEM-learning opportunities.
The report concludes with recommendations for policymakers,
schools, and advocates.
