I have just come back from a meeting where assessment for ABLE students was
discussed in one of the sessions. An observation made by the facilitator of
this session (I was facilitating a different session so I couldn't attend)
was that the teachers in the discussion group think of assessment as the
usual standardized tests (TABE, BEST, etc). Only two of the teachers at this
session mentioned alternative assessments. Have others found this to be true
in the ABLE teachers you are in contact with? What sugggestions do you have
for changing the thinking of folks?
Thanks,
 Dianna Baycich

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies
to trying to prove the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly
succeed and are right.
