Abstract	A statewide assessment in career education was made to: (1) Determine how Texas students stand in relation to basic skills, knowledge, and competencies in career education, and (2) provide decision makers with information about student performance in career education that will assist curriculum planning and development efforts at the local, regional, and state levels. The Texas Career Education Measurement Series (CEMS) was used in testing ninth and twelfth grade students. It was assumed that 75% of ninth grade students and 90% of twelfth grade students should be able to master basic learner outcomes in the areas of career education. In the nine general categories of career education outcomes measured by the CEMS, both twelfth and ninth grade students ranked highest (rank 1) in self-investigation and evaluation for career success and lowest (rank 9) in career and occupational information. Results of the statewide assessment provide objective information which is useful for suggesting areas for educational improvements. The document also includes a description of CEMS, (which consists of a survey test and 16 category tests for use in Grades 7-12). The appendix contains tables listing the nine career education categories with their 26 sub-categories and the outcome based objectives for each. (TA)
