Dig deeper into the Mathematics results

To investigate the relationship between students’ achievement and various contextual factors, NAEP collects information from teachers about their background, education, and training. One of the questions on the teacher questionnaires for grade 4 and grade 8 asked them to indicate the highest degree that they held. Explore this contextual factor by navigating through the slides below for the nation, states, and the districts participating in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA).
