Standards-based curricula and assessment are common—and somewhat controversial—educational practices that aim to improve education through teacher and/or administrator accountability. The processes of developing and implementing standards-based assessments require significant planning and effort. When part of the process is to use an existing test bank, the numbers and types of test items available in the test bank and whether they equally represent the standards to be assessed ultimately affect the outcome of the standardized test. As members of a team funded to develop a model for creating a statewide assessment instrument for an interpersonal relationships high school course, the authors offer several observations and recommendations that may be useful for others engaged in a similar endeavor.

Key Words: family and consumer sciences education • interpersonal relationships curriculum • standards-based assessment
