Good morning, Regie.

Thank you for your offer to respond to our questions.

My question is about assessment.

When I work with teachers, I find that they are often so concerned with the NRS
leveling issue that they forget about all the informal assessment opportunities they
have on a day-to-day basis.  I try to encourage them to involve their learners in the
assessment process, but this does not lead to "validity" in assessment.

When does a teacher need to be concerned with "validity" of assessment instruments?
When should a teacher encourage his or her learners to become active participants in
the assessment process?
