These hearings are being conducted pursuant to Public Law 105-78, which gives NAGB ``exclusive authority over all policies, direction, and guidelines for developing voluntary national tests.'' Public and private parties and organizations with an interest in the Voluntary National Tests for 4th grade reading and 8th grade mathematics are invited to present written and oral testimony. The purpose of the hearings is to gather recommendations on the test specifications or blueprint for the proposed VNT based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 4th grade reading and 8th grade mathematics. The proposed tests will be individualized versions of NAEP, and the Board intends to ensure that they are fully consistent with NAEP's content and performance standards. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board plans to consult widely and wishes to receive a broad range of input and views. We encourage your participation. Results of the hearings are particularly important as they will provide broad public input to the Governing Board for on specifications for the Voluntary National Tests. | 1997-12-31 | 1997 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34005/national-assessment-governing-board-meeting | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34005.pdf | Education Department | 126 | The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), US Department of Education, is announcing two public hearings on the Voluntary National Tests (VNT).
