Hi all,
My name is Kaye Beall.  I work for Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc.
(LVA) as the program development director charged with implementing LVA
Accreditation of volunteer literacy programs and managing our joint LVA/LLA
NIFL-Hub grant for Learning Disabilities and Training Dissemination.  Any
information requests that pertain to assessment, testing, accreditation,
data collection, and outcome measurement are sent my way as well.
Will commented that assessment and evaluation are used interchangeably in
the literacy field.  I also find that accountability, outcomes measures, and
indicators of program quality are used occasionally in the same fashion.  We
in the adult literacy field use indicators to mean standards in the
non-profit world.  I'm finding that we have define the terms as we use them.
And . . . then there is the learning disabilities field that clearly defines
the difference between screening and diagnosis.  Do you see the difference
when we assess adult literacy students for basic skills?
Kaye
