GRADE 8 READING

1
During the 20102011 school year, a sample of students across the country, including
some of your eighth-grade students, will participate in the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP). The current assessment focuses on achievement in reading,
mathematics, science, and writing. To investigate the relationship between students
achievement and various school, teacher, and home factors, NAEP is also collecting
information from schools and teachers.
This questionnaire collects information about teachers backgrounds and instructional
practices as they relate to students selected for the assessment. Since you teach reading to
one or more students selected for the assessment, you are being asked to answer questions
about these students classes.
Obviously, only you can provide this important information. So, although we realize that
you are very busy, we urge you to complete this questionnaire as accurately as possible. The
information you provide is being collected for research purposes only and will be kept
strictly confidential.
NAEP is authorized under Public Law 107110. While your participation is voluntary, your
responses to these questions are needed to make this survey accurate and complete.
Instructions
This questionnaire contains two parts.
Part I Background, Education, and Training
Part II Classroom Organization and InstructionReading
You should complete all parts. Please record your answers online, following the instructions
on the front cover. If you do not have Internet access, please answer questions directly on
this questionnaire by filling in the appropriate ovals.
If you do answer questions directly on this questionnaire, please return the questionnaire to
your schools NAEP coordinator when you are finished.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
