Curriculum Matters: New Chair, Board Members Named to Top NAEP Panel


Curriculum Matters: New Chair, Board Members Named to Top NAEP Panel:

"David Driscoll, a former Massachusetts commissioner of education, has been named the new chair of the National Assessment Governing Board, the independent panel that sets policy for the test known as the 'nation's report card.' Driscoll was named to the position by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who also appointed five members to the board, which oversees much of the crucial behind-the-scenes work on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP."
