Results of a 1994 survey of state directors of special education are presented for 47 states, 7 protectorates, and the District of Columbia. Four major issues were surveyed: the effects of activities outlined in Goals 2000 on state special education service delivery systems; efforts that states are making to develop learner goals and related assessments; how broadly the National Center on Educational Outcomes model of educational outcomes and indicators has been disseminated and used within state and local educational agencies; and the extent to which students with disabilities are participating in statewide achievement assessments. Narrative summaries, tables, and figures include information on the status of outcomes development and assessment development for each state and state policies on learner outcomes and outcomes-related assessments. For each state, statewide assessments are listed and their purposes are identified as either for student accountability, school or district accountability, or instructional decision-making. The study found that Goals 2000 is seen by most state directors as having a positive impact on students with disabilities, that most states have adopted statements of learner goals or outcomes, and that most states are developing or reviewing assessment systems designed to measure student progress toward these outcomes.
