New Version of NAEP
Data Explorer Available
The National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) has released a new version of the NAEP Data Explorer
(NDE).

The new tool takes advantage of the
latest internet technology to present users with a friendlier interface,
enhanced analysis selections, and improved reporting options to aid
researchers, policy-makers, the media, and others interested in investigating
the results from NAEP assessments. NDE users will find powerful
graphing capabilities, achievement levels as variables or statistics,
new Large Central City and National Private jurisdictions, and the option
to perform gap analysis on any combination of variables, years, or jurisdictions.
The new NDE will also improve the way
in which the user is able to interact with the reports he has created,
customizing them and exporting them beyond the NDE application into
a variety of formats, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML.
NAEP has provided informative alerts
and detailed Help to assist users in taking advantage of the new NDE
capabilities. Find it all at:
