CL – Musgrove: Right man for tough job
Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove has been named chairman of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) High School Achievement Commission.
The new national high school achievement commission aims to increase awareness of 12th graders’ academic preparedness for higher education and job training, keys to success in an increasingly competitive global economy.
The National Assessment Governing Board – an independent bipartisan body that sets policy for NAEP – selected Musgrove for the task. Musgrove will join eight other commission members in studying and disseminating results of the board’s program of research about preparedness in reading and math.
The research is conducted in connection with NAEP, also known as “the Nation’s Report Card,” the only continuing, representative assessment of what the nation’s students know and can do.
