Abstract	This guide provides assessment models to those involved in planning and implementing workplace assessment and certification systems, including systems supported by the School-to-Work Opportunities Act. Chapter 2 presents the following: a kindergarten-through-career vision for cross-industry assessment; a plan for spanning the needs and goals of industry and education contexts; an assessment of strategies for each developmental level; and ways in which this vision is aligned to and supports the National Skill Standards Board (NSSB) vision for industry skill standards. Chapter 3 defines standards, presents types of standards used in education and industry contexts, and provides a summary of work done by the National Skill Standards and Assessment Collaborative (NSSAC) to identify categories of cross-industry standards applicable across industries. Chapter 4 describes qualities of an effective program and discusses validity, reliability, and fairness. Chapter 5 charts NSSAC's development work with two assessment methods--portfolios and written scenarios. The identified assessment prototypes are included. Chapter 6 presents a general process for developing effective scoring systems, highlighted by specific examples, and discusses issues related to combining assessment information and reporting results to appropriate audiences. Chapter 7 summarizes "lessons learned" and recommendations for design and implementation of a skill standards-based assessment system. Appendixes include information on NSSB and NSSAC scenario review form. The guide contains 52 references. (YLB)
