MCEETYA Civics and Citizenship Assessment Project 2004

Civics and Citizenship School Release Materials (2004)

The information and assessment materials in these documents have been designed to assist teachers to gauge their own students’ proficiency in civics and citizenship. By replicating components of the National Civics and Citizenship Assessment for Years 6 and 10 in the classroom, teachers will be able to compare the results of the classes and individual students with the national proficiency levels and standards in civics and citizenship at the relevant year level.

It is anticipated that teachers will be able to reflect on this information to enhance teaching and monitoring programs in our schools.

The School Release Materials for each of Years 6 and 10 are available for download below as one complete document or broken down into parts.
