I, for one, am. I'm also interested in CASAS competencies, content area, and
task correlations to the EFF framework. That would make it easier since most
publishers now use either CASAS or SPL (?do I have the initials right) of the
MELT competencies which are in out tutor training manual but not separated out
into levels. I think the more we can bring assessment tools that are already
out there with the framework, the more easily this can be readily applied via a
competency approach, working toward a standards approach.
Best,
