National Assessment of Educational Progress
Since 2002, Hager Sharp has provided strategic communications planning, media relations support and a wide range of other communications services for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as "The Nation's Report Card."
NAEP measures what American students know and can do in key subjects, such as reading, mathematics and science, and reports those findings to the public. Educators and policymakers at all levels use NAEP data to analyze student achievement and inform policy decisions. NAEP is a program of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics.
We are involved in the report process from start to finish from writing, editing and designing to planning the release to providing a summary of news coverage. We have helped plan and execute the release of more than a dozen new studies, generating front page and network news coverage. We provide communications support to a national network of NAEP state coordinators, who have primary responsibility for releasing state-specific results.
Hager Sharp also supports NAEP outreach efforts to key audiences including parents, educators, policymakers and association professionals. We have designed and produced a variety of audience-specific educational materials, and we design and staff exhibits at more than a dozen conferences for education professionals each year.
