U.S. States in a Global Context: Results from the NAEP-TIMSS Linking Study is now available!

[2013460]With this new study, conducted in 2011, U.S. states can compare performance of their own students' with those of various international educational entities. The linking study, an effort of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), projects scores for the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) for each state, using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

The NAEP-TIMSS Linking study provides a comparative picture of mathematics and science performance of students in all U.S. states against the students educated in about 50 countries. Results are presented by average scores and percentages of students performing at the four international benchmarks used in TIMSS.
