During 1987, the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) focused its evaluation efforts on 12 major categories: exit level, placement, survey achievement, staff development, special education, linking assessment to instruction, adult basic education and high school diploma programs, recordkeeping, employability, guidance, goal attainment, and writing. CASAS consortium agencies are developing level exit tests that are based on a systems approach and that include more than just a reading component (14 questions were reported in this category). Also being evaluated is a placement system that includes measuring oral, aural, and reading skills (15 questions were submitted in this category). Ten questions evaluated survey achievement results at the local level, and five agencies addressed the question of implementing and evaluating staff development activities to support assessment concerns. Nine agencies answered evaluation questions in the category of special education, reflecting a nearly 50 percent increase in the category over the previous year. Recordkeeping was another category that experienced a large increase over the previous year. (The major portion of this report consists of member agency evaluation questions, proposed and actual processes, summaries of results, and supporting data arranged under the 12 categories.) (MN)
