The Nation's Report Card: Mathematics 2009 Released
The 2009 Nation's Report Card in Mathematics has been released at http://nationsreportcard.gov.
A live webcast discussing the results will run from 10:00 to 11:00 EDT, with an archived version posted at noon. To discuss the Report Card in greater depth, join Associate Commissioner Peggy Carr at 3:00 for *Ask NAEP*, an hour-long online Q&A session about the results. Submit your questions now at http://nces.ed.gov/whatsnew/statchat/
The Nation's Report Card presents results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for 4th and 8th graders in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Department of Defense Schools, and the nation as a whole. Significant results for mathematics in 2009 include:
* For the first time since the assessment began, 4th graders showed no overall increase at the national level, (emphasis added) although they scored significantly higher in 2009 than when the assessment began in 1990. For 8th graders, scores in 2009 were higher when compared to both 2007 and 1990. These nationwide patterns also held for most student subgroups. Findings regarding students performing at or above the NAEP achievement levels mirror those of the scale scores at both grades.
* Compared to 2007, five states and jurisdictions made gains at both grades 4 and 8, three states increased at grade 4 only, and ten increased at grade 8 only. Scores declined in four states at grade 4, while no state declined at grade 8.
The NAEP reading results, traditionally released with the mathematics results, will be released later, after planned analyses are completed to transition to the new 2009 Reading frameworks and assessments.
NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences.

Build Your Brand
Build Your Brand
Who makes your favorite shoes or outfits? What beverage calls your name when you need a pick-me-up? Whose movies won't you miss? Whose help do you seek when you want a project done right, at home or at work?
All of these questions involve your reactions to a particular brand -- a collection of assumptions about quality, appeal and reliability that you've made in response to repeated experience with a variety of possible products, people or services. Here's the important thing: Whether you like to think about it or not, right now there are people thinking about your very own brand of whatever you are and do, and they're deciding if they want to make it one of their favorites.
International branding strategist Robin Fisher Roffer, author of Make a Name for Yourself, suggests eight steps to help women develop and project their own brands.
