The NAEP Studies SIG issued its second Outstanding Paper Award for 2023-2024. This award recognizes papers of exemplary conceptual, methodological, analytic, and writing quality that draw on NAEP data to advance education research or inform policy development.
The winning paper is titled “Early Reading Skill Development and Characteristics of Reading Skill Profiles: Analysis of Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) and NAEP 2015 Grade 4 Reading Overlap Sample Data” by B. Jasmine Park, Mengyi Li, Xiaying Zheng, and Yuan Zhang.
Please be on the lookout for papers to submit for next year's award! Papers can be published in either refereed and non-refereed sources. The committee will consider the strength of a paper as it relates to the overarching NAEP Studies SIG call for focused attention on persistent issues of urgent concern to the field, such as improvement in measurement and understanding of noncognitive skills, better understanding of contextual factors explaining achievement disparities, and impacts of policy on educational achievement and growth.
