The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often called The Nation’s Report Card, is the
largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in public and private schools
in the United States know and are able to do in various subjects. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Education, NAEP has been conducted since 1969 and is often considered the “gold standard” in large-
scale assessments.
NAEP needs staff to conduct the assessments at grades 4, 8, and 12 for the NAEP 2024 program. In-
school data collectors must be available to work during school hours, when work is available, between
January 29 and March 8, 2024. The data collection window may be extended due to weather or other
delays. For more information visit www.WorkNAEP.com
