Not only does 1994 mark the fifth anniversary of the 1989 Education Summit in Charlottesville, Virginia, which spurred the creation of the National Education Goals, but 1994 also brings significant chani,es and exciting new challenges to the Goals Panel. Earlier this year, Congress adopted and the President enacted the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, which significantly expanded the role of the Goals Panel. While reporting the amount of educational progress the nation and states are making continues to be one of the Panel's main responsibilities, the Goals Panel is also responsible for: building a national consensus for education improvement; accelerating progress by reporting on promising or effective actions being taken at the national, state, and local levels to achieve the Goals; identifying actions that federal, state, and local governments should take to enhance progress toward achieving the Goals and to provide all students with a fair opportunity to learn; and working in partnership with the newly created National Education Standards and Improvement Council to review the criteria for voluntary content, performance, and opportunity-to-learn standards reflecting high expectations for all students. The 1994 Goals Report consists of three documents. The National and State Data Volumes include comprehensive sets of measures to describe our educational progress at the nationallevel and the amount of progress that individual states have made against their own baselines. The central document, the 1994 Goals Report, focuses on sixteen policy-actionable core indicators to convey to par- ents, educators, and policymakers how far we are from where we should be and what we must do in order to reach our destination. Attainment of the National Education Goals will require commitment on th part of all Americans, and we encourage all states and local communities to become active participants in the "Goals Process" by adopting education goals, setting ambitious stan- dards, and improving data collection systems so that we can regularly monitor and share results.

Objectives: All children will have access to high-quality and developmentally appropriate preschool programs that help prepare children for school. Every parent in the United States will he a child's first teacher and devote time each day to helping such parent's preschool child learn, and parents will have access to the training and support parents need. Children will receive the nutrition, physical activity experiences, andhealth care needed to arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies, and to maintain the mental alertness necessary to he prepared to learn, and the number of low-birthweight babies will he significantly reduced through enhanced prenatal health systems. Goal 2: School Completion By the year 2000, the high school graduation rate will increase to atleast 90 percent. Objectives: The Nation must dramatically reduce its school dropout rate, and 75 percent of the students who do drop out %, ill successfully complete a high school degree or its equivalent. The gap in high school graduation rates between American students from minority backgrounds and their non-minority counterparts will he eliminated. Goal 3: Student Achievement and Citizenship By the year 2000, all students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography, and every school in America will ensure that all students learn to use their minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment in our Nation's modern economy. Objectives: The academic performance of all students at the elementary and secondary level will increase significantly in every quartile, and the distribution of minority students in each quartile will more closely reflect the student population as a whole. The percentage of all students who demonstrate the ability to reason, solve problems, apply knowledge, and write and communicate effectively will increase substantially. All students will be involved in activities that promote and demonstrate good citizenship, good health, community service, and personal responsibility. All students will have access to physical education and health education to ensure they are healthy and fit. The percentage of all students who are competent in more than one language will substantially increase. All students will be knowledgeable about the diverse cultural heritage of this Nation and about the world community. Goal 4: Teacher Education and Professional Development By the year 2000, the Nation's teaching force will have access to programs for the continued improvement of their professional skills and the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to instruct and prepare all American students for the next century. Objectives: All teachers will have access to preservice teacher education and continuing professional development activities that will provide such teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to teach to an increasingly diverse student population with a variety of educational, social, and health needs. All teachers will have continuing opportunities to acquire additional knowledge and skills needed to teach challenging subject matter and to use emerging new methods, forms of assessment, and technologies. States and school clistricts will create integrated strategies to attract, recruit, prepare, retrain, and support the continued professional development of teachers, administrators, and other educators, so that there is a highly talented work force of professional educators to teach challenging subject matter. 9 10 Partnerships will be established, whenever possible, among local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, parents, and local labor, business, and professional associations to provide and support programs for the professional development of educators. Goal 5: Mathematics and Science By the year 2000, United States students will be first in the world in mathematics and science achievement. Objectives: Mathematics and science education, including the metric system of measurement, will be strengthened throughout the system, especially in the early grades. The number of teachers with a substantive background in mathematics and science, including the metric system of measurement, will increase by 50 percent. The number of United States undergraduate and graduate students, especially women and minorities, who complete degrees in mathematics, science, and engineering will increase significantly. Goal 6: Adult Literacy and Lifelong Learning By the year 2000, every adult American will be literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Objectives: Every major American business will be involved in strengthening the connection between education and work. All workers will have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills, from basic to highly technical, needed to adapt to emerging new technologies, work methods, and markets through public and private educational, vocational, technical, workplace, or other programs. The number of quality programs, including those at libraries, that are designed to serve more effectively the needs of the growing number of part-time and midcareer students will increase substantially. The proportion of the qualified students, especially minorities, who enter college, who complete at least two years, and who complete their degree programs will increase substantially. The proportion of college graduates who demonstrate an advanced ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems will increase substantially. Schools, in implementing comprehensive parent involvement programs, will offer more adult literacy, parent training and lifelong learning opportunities to improve the ties between home and school, and enhance parents' work and home lives. Goal 7: Safe, Disciplined, and Alcohol- and Drug-free Schools By the year 2000, every school in the United States will be free of drugs, violence, and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol and will offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning. Objectives: Every school will implement a firm and fair policy on use, possession, and distribution of drugs and alcohol. Parents, businesses, governmental and community organizations will work together to ensure the rights of students to study in a safe and secure environment that is free of drugs and crime, and that schools provide a healthy environment and are a safe haven for all children. Every local educational agency will develop and implement a policy to ensure that all schools are free of violence and the unauthorized presence of weapons. Every local educational agency will develop a sequential, comprehensive kindergarten through. twelfth grade drug and alcohol prevention education program. Drug and alcohol curriculum should be taught as an integral part of sequential, comprehensive health education. Community-based teams should be organized to provide students and teachers with needed support. Every school should work to eliminate sexual harassment. Goal 8: Parental Participation By the year 2000, every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. Objectives: Every State will develop policies to assist local schools and local educational agencies to establish programs for increasing partnerships that respond to the varying needs of parents and the home, including parents of children who are disadvantaged or bilingual, or parents of children with disabilities. Every school will actively engage parents and families in a partnership which supports the academic work of children at home and shared educational decisiunmaking at school. Parents and families will help to ensure that schools are adequately supported and will hold schools and teachers to high standards of accountability. 11 Introduction "If you're not keeping score, you're just practicing." In any sport, it is difficult to determine how well your team is doing unless you have complete, accurate, and up-to-date information on the team's performance. If you want to determine your team's standing and see how far you are from first place, you also need measures that allow you to compare your team to.the very best in the league. Most important, if you expect to win, then all players must work cooperatively to achieve common goals. Until recently, it was not possible for the United States to apply these same principles to our education system to determine whether we were making the kind of progress needed to remain internationally competitive. As recently as four years ago, the United States had no nationwide goals to provide focus and consistency in order to determine whether we were all working toward high-performance education. results. With the exception of mathematics, no voluntary nationwide standards existed to determine what students should know and be able to do in any of the core subjects. In a number of key areas, we lacked the necessary data to judge whether we were making sufficient progress or falling further behind. Public dissatisfaction with low levels of student perfor- mance, increasing global economic competition, and con- sistently poor showings on international assessments led policymakers to conclude five years ago that the United States had been spending too much time merely practic- ing and had not devoted sufficient attention to improving performance. The National Education Goals were created in 1990 to reverse that trend. This fourth annual report of the National Education Goals Panel is designed to help parents, educators, and policymakers score our education performance by reporting where the nation and the states stand with respect to each of the National Education 12 Vince Lombardi Goals, where we should be if we expect to reach the Goals by the year 2000, and which actions are necessary in order for us to reach our destination. The National Education Goals In 1989, the nation's Governors and the President reached agreement at an education summit convened in Charlottesville, Virginia, that unless the nation estab- lished clear education goals and all citizens worked coop- eratively to achieve them, the United States would be woefully unprepared to face the technological, scientific, and economic challenges of the 21st century. The 1989 Education Summit led to the adoption of six National Education Goals which set high expectations for educa- tion performance at every stage of a learner's life, from the preschool years through adulthood. In 1994, Con- gress adopted the six Goals and expanded the number to eight, underscoring the critical roles that teachers and parents play in improving the nation's education perfor- mance. The Goals state that by the year 2000: 1. All children in America will start school ready to learn. 2. The high school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent. 3. All students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography, and every school in America will ensure that all students learn 13 to use their minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment in our Nation's modern economy. 4. The Nation's teaching force will have access to programs for the continued improvement of their professional skills and the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to instruct and prepare all American students for the next century. 5. United States students will be first in the world in mathematics and science achievement. 6. Every adult American will be literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. 7. Every school in the United States will be free of drugs, violence, and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol and will offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning. 8. Every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. The National Education Goals Panel Following the adoption of the National Education Goals, the White House and the National Governors' Association established the National Education Goals Panel. Its primary purpose at that time was to monitor and report annual progress toward the Goals at the national and state levels. In March of 1994, Congress codified the National Education Goals and established the Goals Panel as an independent federal agency by enacting the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. The eighteen-member bipartisan Goals Panel now consists of eight Governors, four members of Congress, four State Legislators, the U.S. Secretary of Education, and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy. Congress also considerably expanded the Goals Panel's charge in the new legislation. While monitoring and reporting progress toward the Goals continues to be one of the primary duties of the Goals Panel, the Panel is also responsible for: building a national consensus for the reforms necessary to achieve education improvement; reporting on promising or effective actions being taken at the national, state, and local levels to achieve the Goals; identifying actions that federal, state, and local governments should take to enhance progress toward achieving the Goals and to provide all students with a fair opportunity to learn; and collaborating with the newly created National Education Standards and Improvement Council to review the criteria for voluntary content, performance, and opportunity-to-learn standards. The 1994 National Education Goals Report For the past three years the Goals Panel has measured progress toward each of the Goals by establishing base- line performance measures around the time of the Char- lottesville Summit, and by updating the baselines as new data become available. While this information does tell us where we currently stand, the Goals Panel has never set specific targets to determine where we should be each year if we expect to reach the National Education Goals by the year 2000. This year the Panel begins that process by making four fundamental changes to the annual Goals Report so that it is more useful and more understandable. As was the case last year, the 1994 Report consists of three documents. The National and State Data Volumes contain comprehensive sets of indicators to describe our educational progress at the national level and the amount of progress made by individual states against their own baselines. However, the central document, the 1994 National Education Goals Report, has been expanded and revised so that it: 1. Focuses on a limited set of core education indicators to measure progress. If policymakers, educators, and the public focus on improving performance on these core indicators, the nation should be able to raise its overall level of "educational health" over time. 2. Focuses on indicators that are policy-actionable, so that policymakers and the public will have a better understanding of what they can do to improve educational performance. 3. Begins the process of setting challenging, yet meaningful, benchmarks for performance so that the American public clearly understands how far we are from where we should be. 13 4. Identifies data gaps at both the national and state levels that impede the Panel's ability to measure progress toward the Goals, so that the Panel and its partners can design short- and long-term strategies for filling these gaps. Core Indicators Sixteen core indicators are the central focus of the 1994 Goals Report. They were selected with the assis- tance of members of the Goals Panel's Resource and Technical Planning Groups, who were asked to recom- mend a small set of indicators for the core that were, to the extent possible: comprehensive across the Goals; most critical in determining whether the Goals are actually achieved; policy-actionable; and updated at frequent intervals, so that the Panel can provide regular progress reports. The core indicators are discussed in detail in the 1994 National Education Goals Report. The sixteen are: GOAL 1: READY TO LEARN 1. Children's Health Index 2. Immunizations 3. Family-child reading and storytelling 4. Preschool participation GOAL 2: SCHOOL COMPLETION 5. High school completion GOAL 3: STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND CITIZENSHIP 6. Mathematics achievement 7. Reading achievement GOAL 4: TEACHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (No core indicators have been selected for this new Goal yet. They will be addressed in future Goals Reports.) GOAL 5: MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE 8. International mathematics achievement comparisons 9. International science achievement comparisons 14 GOAL 6: ADULT LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING 10. Adult literacy 11. Participation in adult education 12. Participation in higher education GOAL 7: SAFE, DISCIPLINED, AND ALCOHOL- AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS 13. Overall student drug and alcohol use 14. Sale of drugs.at school 15. Student and teacher victimization 16. Disruptions in class by students GOAL 8: PARENTAL PARTICIPATION (No core indicators have been selected for this new Goal yet. They will be addressed in future Goals Reports.) It is important to understand that the indicators selected for the core are not necessarily the ideal mea- sures of progress, nor are they all policy-actionable. They do represent, however, the best currently available mea- sures. The list will be expanded as other central measures become available for the original six Goals (e.g., new stu- dent achievement levels in science), and for the two new Goals on Teacher Education and Professional Develop- ment, and Parental Participation. While this small core of indicators has the distinct advantage of bringing greater focus to our discussions about national and state progress, the Panel acknowl- edges that sixteen indicators cannot possibly capture the breadth or depth of the educational needs that we face. Therefore, a much broader range of indicators for each Goal is presented in the accompanying National and State Data Volumes. The Goals Process Meeting the challenges of the next century will require the involvement of all Americans: public offi- cials, educators, parents, business and community lead- ers, and students. Becoming active participants and improving our ability to gauge our education perfor- mance will enable us to make better decisions that will benefit our schools. One of the most important roles that the Goals Panel plays is encouraging collaborative efforts to improve education that are taking place at all levels of governance and, hopefully, in every community. The heart of the Goals Process is informed decision- making. Citizens need accurate, reliable information to determine the strengths and weaknesses of their educa- tion systems and to make decisions that will allow those systems to perform at more ambitious levels. The Goals Process can help communities determine how well they are doing, where they would like to be, and what they will have to do to move their results in the desired direc- tion. It involves three essential steps: adopting and adapting the National Education Goals to reflect high expectations for all learners and cover a lifetime of learning, from the preschool years through adulthood; assessing current strengths and weaknesses, and building a strong accountability system to measure and report progress regularly toward all of the goals; and setting performance milestones to serve as checkpoints along the way. Once these steps have been taken and the community has made a long-term commitment to evaluate its progress, it will need to identify potential barriers to suc- cess, develop strategies to overcome them, and use the information it is collecting along the way to fine-tune its own approach to education improvement. A new product created by the Goals Panel, the Com- munity Action Toolkit, is designed to help communities implement the Goals Process. The Toolkit includes a handbook which outlines the steps required to collect reliable data so that informed decisionmaking can take place at the local level. The Toolkit also includes advice on organizing community leaders and communicating educational strengths, weaknesses, and priorities to the general public. Information about the Toolkit can be obtained by returning the questionnaire located in the back of this document to the Goals Panel. Next Steps Five years ago the White House and the nation's Gov- ernors, later joined by Congress and State Legislators, began a process intended to result in a rapid rebuilding of the nation's education system. By the end of the century, they agreed, the commitment made by policymakers, communities, educators, students, and parents should be turning those ambitious goals into reality. That process is nearly at midpoint. A permanent foundation has been laid and considerable information has been gathered on progress, though it will require con- tinued improvements before it can be considered com- plete in all areas. This 1994 National Education Goals Report introduces the essential areas in which policymak- t-s need to act and the public needs to be involved, if we a:- serious about keeping score, not simply practicing. 15 Indicators for the State Volume I 7 2000 1994 17 . 0 Measuring State Progress Toward t Goals and Objectives Goal 3: Student Achievement and Citizenship Direct Measures of the Goal: Student Achievement Percentage of public school students who scored at the Proficient or Advanced level in mathematics, thus meeting the Goals Panel's performance standard: 7 Grade 4(1992) Grade 8 (1990,1992) Percentage of public sch of students who s he Proficient or Advanced lev in reading, thus the Goals Panel's performanc. standard (1992): Grade 4 e 19% 24% 26% " 28% 0 0 0 1 The baseline year represents the year closest to the date of the Charlottesville Education Summit (September 1989) for which data were available.

Estimates based on a sample will differ somewhat from the figures that would have been obtained if a complete census had been taken using the same survey instru- ments, instructions, and procedures. In addition to such sampling errors, all surveys, both universe and sample, are subject to design, reporting, and processing errors and errors due to nonresponse. To the extent possible, these nonsampling errors are kept to a minimum by methods built into the survey procedures. In general, however, the effects of nonsampling errors are more dif- ficult to gauge than those produced by sampling vari- ability. Sampling Errors The samples used in surveys are selected from a large number of possible samples of the same size that could have been selected using the same sample design. Estimates derived from the differentsamples would dif- fer from each other. The difference between a sample estimate and the average of all possible samples is called the sampling deviation. The standard or sampling error of a survey estimate is a measure of the variation among the estimates from all possible samples and, thus, is a measure of the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the average result of all possible samples. The sample estimate and an estimate of its standard error permit us to construct interval estimates with pre- scribed confidence that the interval includes the aver- age result of all possible samples. if all possible samples 248 were selected under essentially the same conditions and an estimate and its estimated standard error were calcu- lated from each sample, then: 1) approximately 2/3 of the intervals from one standard error below the estimate to one standard error above the estimate would include the average value of the possible samples; and 2) approximately 19/20 of the intervals from two standard errors above the estimate to two standard errors below the estimate would include the average value of all pos- sible samples. We call an interval from two standard errors below the estimate to two standard errors above the estimate a 95 percent confidence interval. Analysis of standard errors can help assess how valid a comparison between two estimates might he. The stan- dard error of a difference between two independent sam- ple estimates is equal to the square root of the sum of the squared standard errors of the estimates. The standard error (se) of the difference between independent sample estimates "a" and "b" is: se.b= 4se2a+ sei, Nonsampling Errors Universe and sample surveys are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors may arise when respondents or interviewers interpret questions differently, when respondents must estimate values, or when coders, key- ers, and other processors handle answers differently, when persons who should be included in the universe arc not, or when persons fail to respond (completely or par- tially). Nonsampling errors usually, but not always, result in an understatement of total survey error and thus an overstatement of the precision of survey estimates. Since estimating the magnitude of nonsampling errors often would require special experiments or access to indepen- dent data, these magnitudes are seldom available. r). e: 4I) Goal 1 Low Birthweight and Prenatal Care Prenatal care refers to the first visit for health care ser- vices during pregnancy. For the low-birthweight and prenatal care indicators, the numbers of cases reported as "not stated" were dis- tributed among the reporting categories. Numbers may not add to 1,000 due to rounding. Children's Health Index The percentages of infants at risk are based on the num- ber of births used to calculate the health index, not the actual number of births. The percentage of complete and usable birth records used to calculate the health index varied from a high of 99.93 to a low of 73.18. Four states (California, Indiana, New York, and South Carolina) did not collect information on all six risks in 1990 and 1991, and are not included in this Report. Oklahoma provided 1991 data only. Children with Disabilities in Preschool The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) supports the improvement of services for very young children with disabilities through several programs, including the Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities (Part H), the Preschool Grants Program (Section 619 of Part B), and the Early Education Program for Children with Disabilities (Section 623 of Part C). The Congressional mandate required states to have a mandate in place by school year 1991-92 that ensures a free appropriate edu- cation (FAPE) for all eligible 3- to 5-year-old children with disabilities. Data are based on state information submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special 7ducation and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) on the number of children with disabilities served under IDEA, Part B and Chapter 1 (ESEA State-Operated Programs [SOP]) programs. Goal 2 High School Completion and School Dropouts The 1990 Decennial Census data used in computing state high school completion and dropout rates are from special tabulations of the Census sample detail file. That file included data on current high school enroll- ment and high school graduation status. Those Liata were used in conjunction with Census single-year of-age population data. By definition, the high school comple- tion rates for 19- to 20-year-olds and 23- to 24-year-olds are computed as a percentage of the non-high school enrolled population at these ages who possess a high school credential (either a high school diploma or an alternative credential). The status dropout rate for 16- to 19-year-olds is computed as a percentage of all 16- to 19-year-olds who are not currently enrolled in high school and have not graduated from high school. The Census data collection procedures count each per- son at their current location. As a result, 16- to 19-year- olds who graduated from high school and moved to another location for college or work are counted at their new location. This has the potential for decreasing the dropout rate in areas with universities, colleges, or employment opportunities, and potentially increasing th, dropout rate in areas that graduates leave. Goal 3 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) NAEP is a survey of the educational achievement of American students and changes in that achievement across time. Since 1969, NAEP has assessed the achievement of national samples of 9-, 13-, and 17-year- old students in public and private schools. In 1983, it expanded the samples so that grade-level results could he reported. The assessments, conducted annually until the 1979-80 school year and biennially since then, have included periodic measures of student performance in reading, mathematics, science, writing, U.S. history, civics, geog- raphy, and other subject areas. NAEP also collects demographic, curricular, and instructional background information from students, teachers, and school admin- istrators. In 1988, Congress added a new dimension to NAEP by authorizing, on a trial basis, voluntary participation of public schools in state-level assessments in 1990 and 1992. Forty jurisdictions (states and territories) partici- pated in the 1990 trial mathematics assessment. In 1992, 44 jurisdictions participated in the state mathe- matics assessments of 4th and 8th graders and 43 partic- ipated in the 4th grade reading assessments. National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) Achievement Levels The NAEP data shown under Goal 3 should be inter- preted with caution. The line signifying the Goals 249 Panel's Performance Standard classifies student perfor- mance according to achievement levels devised by the National Assessment Governing Board. These achieve- ment level data have been previously reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Students with NAEP scores falling below the Goals Panel's Performance Standard have been classified by NAGB as "Basic" or below; those above have been clas- sified as "Proficient" or "Advanced." The NAGB achievement levels represent a reasonable way of categorizing overall performance on the NAEP. They are also consistent with the Panel's efforts to report such performance against a high-criterion stan- dard. However, the methods used to derive the NAGB achievement "cut points" (i.e., the points distinguishing the percentage of students scoring at the different achievement levels) have been questioned and are still under review. NAGB has established standards for reporting the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This effort has resulted in three achievement levels: basic, proficient, and advanced. The NAGB achievement levels are reasoned judgements of what students should know and be able to do. They are attempts to characterize overall student performance in particular subject matter. Readers should exercise cau- tion, however, in making particular inferences about what students at each level actually know and can do. A NAEP assessment is a complex picture of student achievement and applying external standards for perfor- mance is a difficult task. Evaluation studies completed and under way have raised questions about the degree to which the standards in the NAGB achievement levels are actually reflected in an assessment and, hence, the degree to which inferences about actual performance can he made from these achievement levels. The Goal Panel acknowledges these limitations but believes that, used with caution, these levels convey important infor- mation about how American students are faring in reaching Goal 3. Basic: This level, below proficient, denotes partial mastery of knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at each grade 4, 8, and 12. For twelfth grade, this is higher than minimum competency skills (which are normally taught in elementary and junior high school) and covers significant elements of standard high-school-level work. Proficient: This central level represents solid academic per- formance for each grade tested 4, 8, and 12. It reflects a consensus that students reaching this level have demon- 250 strated competency over challenging subject matter and are well prepared for the next level of schooling. At grade 12, the proficient level encompasses a body of sub- ject-matter knowledge and analytical skills, of cultural literacy and insight, that all high school graduates should have for democratic citizenship, responsible adulthood, and productive work. Advanced: This higher level signifies superior performance beyond proficient grade-level mastery at grades 4, 8, and 12. For twelfth grade, the advanced level shows readiness for rigorous college courses, advanced training, or employ- ment requiring advanced academic achievement. Advanced Placement Program The Advanced Placement program, sponsored by the College Board, provides a way for high schools to offer college-level coursework to students. At present, one or more course descriptions, examinations, and sets of cur- ricular materials are available in art, biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, English, French, German, government and politics, history, Latin, mathematics, music, physics, and Spanish. Advanced Placement examinations, which are given in May, are graded on a five-point scale: 5 extremely well qualified; 4 well qualified; 3 - qualified; 2. -- possibly qualified; and 1 no recommendation. Grades of 3 and above generally are accepted for college credit and advanced placement at participating colleges and universities. For this Report: English includes English Language & Composition and English Literature & Composition; Science includes Biology, Chemistry, Physics B, Physics C Mechanics, and Physics C Electricity and Magnetism; Mathematics includes Calculus AB and Calculus BC; History includes U.S. History and European History; Foreign Language includes French Language, French Literature, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, and German; Fine Arts includes Art History, Studio Art (Drawing and General), and Music Theory; Economics includes Macro-economics and Micro-economics; and Government includes U.S. Government and Politics and Comparative Government and Politics. The number of Advanced Placement examinations graded 3 or above per 1,000 11th and 12th graders is presented in this Report. The number of 11th and 12th graders includes public and private students. The enroll- ment figures were arrived at by multiplying the public enrollment by a private-enrollment adjustment factor. Goal 5 International Student Achievement Comparisons International comparisons have been drawn between countries participating in the 1991 International Assessment of Educational Progress (IAEP) and states participating in the 1992 NAEP. Representative samples of 9- and 13-year-old students were tested in mathemat- ics in 20 countries. Those countries decided to adopt the 1990 NAEP objectives in mathematics as a blueprint for the construction of the IAEP mathematics assessment. Even with differences in the target population and tim- ing, there was substantial overlap between the NAEP and the IAEP. By linking the IAEP scale to the NAEP scale it is possible to predict the percentages of 13-year- olds in each of the 20 countries that participated in the 1991 IAEP in mathematics who would have performed at or above each of the three achievement levels (see Technical Notes for Goal 3) established by the NAGB for U.S. students. These predictions can then be com- pared with actual performance of U.S. eighth graders in public schools in the 1992 mathematics assessment with respect to these same criteria. For this Report, the high- est scoring counties (Korea, Switzerland, and Taiwan) were selected for comparison to the United States. Mathematics data are presented only for the 42 states and territories that participated in the 1992 NAEP. Teacher Certification The population of teachers includes those with a main and "other" assignment. The percent certified refers to teachers assigned to one or more period/class to subject with state certification in subject. States have different requirements for teacher certification which may explain the differing rates of teacher certification. For example, while all states had minimal certification requirements for mathematics teachers, the number of semester course credits by state varied from 18 to 40. See the Council of Chief State School Officers' Sum Indicators of Science and Mathematics Education: 1993 for more information on certification requirements by state. California's baseline data are from 1990. Colorado's Biology figures include all sciences. Pennsylvania's 1993 data includes grades 7- 12. Wisconsin state law requires all assigned teachers to be certified in field of assignment. Goal 6 Adult Literacy Scales The Department of Education (ED) and the Educational Testing Service (ETS) characterized the lit- eracy of America's adults in terms of three "literacy scales" representing distinct and important aspects of literacy; prose, document, and quantitative literacy. Each of the literacy scales, which range from 0 to 500, are as follows: Prose literacy the knowledge and skills needed to understand and use information from texts that include editorials, news stories, poems, and fiction; for example, finding a piece of information in a newspaper article, interpreting instructions from a warranty, interring a theme from a poem, or contrasting views expressed in an editorial. n ':4j Level 1 Most of the tasks in this level require the reader to read relatively short text to locate a single piece of information which is identical to or synony- mous with the information given in the question or directive. If plausible but incorrect information is pre- sent in the text, it tends not to be located near the correct information. Level 2 Some tasks in this level require readers to locate a single piece of information in the text; how- ever, several distractors or plausible but incorrect pieces of information may be present, or low-level inferences may be required. Other tasks require the reader to integrate two or more pieces of information or to compare and contrast easily identifiable informa- tion based on a criterion provided in the question or directive. Level 3 Tasks in this level tend to require readers to make literal or synonymous matches between the text and information given in the task, or to make matches that require low-level inferences. Other tasks ask readers to integrate information from dense or lengthy text that contains no organizational aids such as head- ings. Readers may also he asked to generate a response based on information that can be easily identified in the text. Distracting information is present, but is not located near the correct information. Level 4 These tasks require readers to perform multi- ple-feature matches and to integrate or synthesize information from complex or lengthy passages. More complex inferences are needed to perform successfully. Conditional information is frequently present in tasks at this level and must be taken into consideration by the reader. Level 5 Some tasks in this level require the reader to search for information in dense text which contains a number of plausible distractors. Others ask readers to 251 make high-level inferences or use specialized back- ground knowledge. Some tasks ask readers to contrast complex information. Document literacy the knowledge and skills required to locate and use information contained in materials that include job applications, payroll forms, transporta- tion schedules, maps, tables, and graphs; for example, locating a particular intersection on a street map, using a schedule to choose the appropriate bus, or entering information on an application form. Level 1 Tasks in this level tend to require the reader either to locate a piece of information based on a liter- al match or to enter information from personal knowl- edge onto a document. Little, if any, distracting infor- mation is present. Level 2 Tasks in this level are more varied than those in Level 1. Some require the readers to match a single piece of information; however, several distractors may he present, or the match may require low-level infer- ences. Tasks in this level may also ask the reader to cycle through information in a document or to inte- grate information from various parts of a document. Level 3 Some tasks in this level require the reader to integrate multiple pieces of information from one or more documents. Othcrs ask readers to cycle through rather complex tables or graphs which contain infor- mation that is irrelevant or inappropriate to the task. Level 4 Tasks in this level, like those at the previous levels, ask readers to perform multiple-feature match- es, cycle through documents, and integrate informa- tion; however, they require a greater degree of infer- encing. Many of these tasks require readers to provide numerous responses but do not designate how many responses are needed. Conditional information is also present in the document tasks at this level and must be taken into account by the reader. Level 5 Tasks in this level require the reader to search through complex displays that contain multi- ple distractors, to make high-level text-based infer- ences, and to use specialized knowledge. Quantitative literacy the knowledge and skills required to apply arithmetic operations, either alone or sequentially, using numbers embedded in printed mate- rials; for example, balancing a checkbook, figuring out a tip, completing an order form, or determining the amount of interest from a loan advertisement. 252 Level I Tasks in this level require readers to perform single, relatively simple arithmetic operations, such as addition. The numbers to be used are provided and the arithmetic operation to be performed is specified. Level 2 Tasks in this level typically require readers to perform a single operation using numbers that are either stated in the task or easily located in the mater- ial. The operation to be performed may be stated in the question or easily determined from the format of the material (for example, an order form). Level 3 In tasks in this level, two or more numbers are typically needed to solve the problem, and these must he found in the material. The operation(s) needed can be determined from the arithmetic rela- tion terms used in the question or directive. Level 4 These tasks tend to require readers to per- form two or more sequential operations or a single operation in which the quantities are found in differ- ent types of displays, or the operations must be inferred from semantic information given or drawn from prior knowledge. Level 5 These tasks require readers to perform multi- ple operations sequentially. They must disemhed the features of the problem from text or rely on back- ground knowledge to determine the quantities or operations needed. Twelve states (California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington) participated in the 1992 State Adult Literacy Survey. California's data were not available for this Report. The Oregon Progress Board conducted an independent study in 1990, which was validated by the Educational Testing Service. Adults aged 16-65 participated in the 1990 Oregon study; in other states which participated in 1992, the sample included adults aged 16 and older. Goal 7 The information from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey includes only states with weighted data. The wording in the survey questions changed between 1990 and 1991, which may account for any significant differences'from 1990 to 1991 and from 1990 to 1993. North Carolina data from 1990 are not comparable to data from 1993, therefore, the 1990 data are not shown in this Report.
