At a time of increasing demand for high standards in education, America’s students need wise leadership more than ever. The National Assessment Governing Board has long answered the call—and now you can be a part of the Governing Board’s vital work measuring student achievement, and more.

The 26-member Governing Board was established by Congress to set policy for The Nation’s Report Card, also known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

The Governing Board is seeking qualified and passionate individuals to serve four-year terms and help lead groundbreaking initiatives involving NAEP, including efforts to increase parent engagement, improve academic preparedness, and provide innovations in assessment.

The following positions will be open in 2014: chief state school officer, eighth-grade teacher, fourth-grade teacher, secondary school principal, and general public member. The term for each of the five positions is October 1, 2014, to September 30, 2018. Learn more about what Governing Board members do and where they come from, and submit a nomination for yourself or someone you know here: http://www.nagb.org/nominations2014.
