NIFL-4EFF Colleagues:

I am pleased to announce that Regie Stites has agreed to join us online and 
respond to questions about the EFF standards and standards-based educational 
reform. 

Regie Stites is an Educational Researcher in the Center for Education and 
Human Services of SRI International.  Dr. Stites is a specialist in literacy 
studies with a background in cultural anthropology and applied linguistics.  
He received
his Ph.D. in Education from the University of California, Los Angeles in 
1992. Prior to coming to SRI, Dr. Stites was a Research Associate in the 
National Center for Research on Standards and Student Testing (CRESST) at 
UCLA and a
Senior Researcher in the National Center on Adult Literacy and International 
Literacy Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.  He also has experience 
as a college instructor and as a teacher of English to speakers of other 
languages
in the USA and in the People’s Republic of China.  His current research 
focuses on applications of educational technology and on assessment and 
policy issues in literacy and adult basic education.

Dr. Stites was an advisor to the Mayor’s Commission on Literacy’s work on 
the EFF Citizen/Community Member Role Map. He is the author of the 1999 Focus 
on Basics article: A User's Guide to Standards-Based Educational Reform: From 
Theory to Practice, located at: 
<http://gseweb.harvard.edu/~ncsall/fob/1999/regiestites.html>.  
He is now assisting EFF in planning assessment development and validation 
processes. 

Here's the format for this activity:

1. NIFL-4EFFers, please post your questions for Regie no later than 10/17.

2. Regie will post his responses on a few different occasions, 10/17 to 10/23.

3. Regie has also agreed to continue as a participant in an open 4EFF 
discussion, 10/23 to 10/29. 

Thanks!

Ronna
