Procedures for assessing citizenship education among 13-year-old and 17-year-old students are outlined. The document is designed to be used by over 1,600 district and school personnel who have the responsibility for conducting assessments using the National Assessment of Educational Progress guidelines (NAEP). It provides information on the assessment process, performing assessment tasks, and analyzing assessment results. Topics discussed in the 12 chapters include looking at requirements for replicating the NAEP survey; setting an assessment schedule; selecting students to be assessed; performing preassessment tasks, assessment tasks, and postassessment tasks; scoring assessment booklets; and analyzing results and comparing them with NAEP data. Teachers are instructed to follow manual directions closely so that differences between individual students and the national sample will be the result of "real" causes rather than inconsistent assessment procedures. Five appendices include a discussion on survey sampling; scoring guides; listing of assessment questions, answers, themes, and objectives; citizenship objectives; and definitions of National Assessment reporting groups.
