A brief description of how the literacy assessment was developed and/or when it was adopted:
This assessment was created by faculty, staff and student interns in the Institute for a Sustainable Environment at Clarkson to help all members of our community stay abreast of our local recycling program. The learning materials and assessment were developed based on our current waste management rules.
