The process of selecting civic objectives and additional assessment plans (COAAPs) begins with assessing the needs of students in your agency. For an EL Civics School Community Student Needs Assessment Summary Form, click here.

Once you have assessed the needs of your students, use the results to select up to ten civic objectives and corresponding language and literacy objectives and additional assessment plans.

First view the Pre-Approved Civic Objectives List to decide which objectives meet your students' needs. Next, view the Pre-Approved Additional Assessment Plan List to select a corresponding additional assessment plan.

Once you have decided on your civic objectives and additional assessment plans, choose one of options below:
