"The Politics and Process of Evaluation and Decision Making in the Schools: The Shawnee Mission, Kansas, Experience" and "Use of National Assessment Model for Classroom Evaluation" were two papers presented at the Regional Conference of the National Council for the Social Studies. The first paper concerned the development of an evaluation plan for the alternative American Studies program in the eighth through twelfth grades of the Shawnee Mission, Kansas, school district, during the 1973-74 school year. This plan called for three output measures: (1) a factual achievement test, (2) a study of habits and attitudes, and (3) a student opinion grid. The SSHA Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes was chosen for use, along with a teacher-developed Student Opinion Grid. Later, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) items were designated for the core of neutral items in the factual survey; this American Studies Factual Knowledge Survey is appended. The second paper explained the use of the NAEP exercises, which are administered on a national basis to young people and adults, for classroom, teacher and individual student evaluation.
