Abstract	This paper provides the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) community with information that may help maintain the validity and utility of the NAEP assessments for civics and U.S. history as revisions are planned to the NAEP frameworks that will inform these assessments now scheduled for 2030. The authors addressed the overarching questions below: (1) How old are the NAEP assessment frameworks for civics and U.S. history? Why does this matter? (2) What important developments in the fields of civics and U.S. history have occurred since the current frameworks were written? (3) To what extent are the NAEP assessments aligned or disconnected to what is, and will likely be, occurring in the states? (4) Based on the findings, what recommendations should those who will be reviewing the frameworks consider to ensure the validity and utility of NAEP assessments in civics and U.S. history? [This report was commissioned by the NAEP Validity Studies (NVS) Panel.] (ERIC).
