Administration and sponsorship of NAEP has evolved over the years. Congress set the general parameters for the assessment and, in 1988, created the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB)

In the "Policy Statement for Redesigning the National Assessment of Educational Progress" (National Assessment Governing Board, 1996)

The policy statement laid out methods for accomplishing these objectives including one that called for the use of innovations in measurement and reporting. Discussed was the use of domain-score reporting in which "a goodly number of test questions are developed that encompass the subject, and student results are reported as a percentage of the domain that students know and can do." Domain-score reporting was cited as an alternative to reporting results on "an arbitrary and less meaningful scale like the 0 to 500 scale" (National Assessment Governing Board, 1996:131.

Evaluation reports, reviews by experts, and commissioned papers highlight issues that bear on the 1996 redesign. Among these are when to change test frameworks, how to simplify NAEP's technical design, how to improve the process for setting achievement levels, and how NAEP results might be used to examine factors that underlie student achievement (NationalAssessment Governing Board, 1999b)

Their report pointed out that the primary audience for NAEP reports is the American public, whereas the primary users of its pita have been national and state policymakers, educators, and researchers (National Assessment Governing Board, 1996:61. The Design 2000-2010 policy stated five over-arching principles for the conduct and reporting of NAEP (National Assessment Governing Board, 1999b:31: conduct assessments annually, following a dependable schedule focus NAEP on what it does best 3.
