Abstract	The major goal of a study sponsored by the Organization of American Historians and the American Historical Association was to provide information about the state of history education in each of the United States, to be used constructively to appraise and improve school-based history education. This report addresses teacher certification in history; content standards in history for teachers; content standards in history for students; high school graduation and exit requirements in history; assessments in history; and resources and organizations that are available for history teachers at the state level. The report states that the researchers gathered most of their findings from state department of education Web sites and the Web sites of governing boards in the states. It explains that to confirm the accuracy of the data, the researchers wrote summary reports for each state and sent draft copies of these reports to social studies and history education specialists in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It notes that representatives of 42 states responded; eight states and the District of Columbia did not respond to the survey. Three appendices contain: 12 data tables; a sample state profile (Indiana); and a list of respondents to the survey by state. (BT)
