NCES Commissioner Sean Buckley announced a pilot to test 15,000 8th graders in technology and engineering skills; the exam is expected to go national in 2014, with results expected in 2015; eventually, the TEL test will be given in 4th, 8th, and 12th grades. "What we're talking about here is trying to put the 'T-E in STEM," said NCES Commissioner Sean P. "Jack" Buckley. "We've been assessing the [science and math] for some time, but it's been much harder to figure out the framework for an actual, practical, functional field assessment for technology and engineering components."
