One that has become popular is the Canadian Adult REading Assessment (CARA)as it includes diagnostic information as well as potential indicators for placement. For exit assessment we are using a guided portfolio process for three stages of literacy development.

What alternative assessments are you using? How are you integrating them along with standarized tests? If you can write what they are and how you are using them I will again summarize the responses and compile resources Thanks for the energy!
