Hello everyone,

I am on this list because assessment is my area of expertise in ABE.  I
am the professional development specialist in assessment for the SABES
(System of Adult Basic Education Support) System in Massachusetts, and I
am the editor of the annual publication Adventures in Assessment.  I'm
very interested in learning about issues in the
assessment/accountability movement in general, what other states are
doing to meet federal accountability demands, and what practitioners are
doing in the classroom to meet a variety of local and national
requirements with tools and processes that frankly fall short of the
quality we are looking for.  The questions and issues that participants
post to this list provide me with snapshots of what some of the needs
are in this area of ABE.  It's been interesting.

thanks,
marie cora

Dear List Participants:

Just returned from an informative meeting of the NIFL list moderators. 
I am eager to try to energize activity and dialogue.  It would be
enormously helpful if you could take a moment and respond to the
question:
 Why did I join the assessment list?

Your answers will help generate new topics for discussion and
opportunities to exchange ideas and practice about assessment with your
colleagues across the country. Thank you for your help and support.

Best,
Diane Rosenthal
