Abstract: 

Statistical literacy assessment tools developed in one part of the world or for a particular constituency<br>may not be the best tools for others. The wording, the level, the context, the objects mentioned may be<br>foreign and thus render the assessment tool useless. This is a predicament that the countries involved in<br>the CensusAtSchool and other international projects know very well. Statistical literacy instruments<br>must be customized and therefore the tools to assess statistical literacy must be customized too. The<br>International Statistical Literacy Project of the IASE contains a variety of learning and assessment<br>tools developed by many different international sources for a variety of groups. In this paper and<br>related documents, we illustrate with examples how to take advantage of the numerous resources in the<br>ISLP web page to build tools to assess statistical literacy suitable for different models and<br>constituencies in the statistics spectrum.
