Basic life skill items developed by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to measure the achievement of 17-year-olds in the following areas are presented: (1) personal finance and consumer protection skills; (2) health maintenance skills; (3) interpersonal skills; (4) family responsibility skills; and (5) career development skills. Items in these five areas are distributed throughout six packages. These items were constructed to measure performance on the objectives listed in Appendix B. These assessment items can be part of a pool individual teachers may choose from; they can be used as instructional tools; or they can be part of a classroom-, school- or district-wide assessment. In the Spring of 1978, NAEP will publish nationwide results for these items. These and the results from a school or school district will allow national comparisons. The more closely NAEP procedures are replicated, the more valid will be comparisons with the national results. In addition to presenting the locations of the various items, the following information is also provided: a short general description of the item; a NAEP number useful for referring to NAEP results when they become available; an outline code referring to skill areas; and an answer key.
