Dear all,

Adventures in Assessment is a annual (formerly bi-annual) publication
that showcases alternative and non-traditional assessment.  You can get
hard copies from me for a nominal fee, or you can download articles or
whole volumes at the website.  Not every volume is up there yet - I
believe volumes 5 through 14 are there, and Volume 15 has just come out
and is waiting to be distributed (once distributed, it will be posted as
well).  Volume 15 is entitled "Assessment in Motion". 

The web address for Adventures in Assessment is:
http://www.sabes.org/resources/adventures/index.htm 

Also, SABES (System for Adult Basic Education Support) maintains an
Assessment Support Website, which is geared toward practitioners in the
state of Massachusetts - but which is also quite useful for
practitioners outside our state.  The web address for this site is:

http://www.sabes.org/assessment/index.htm 

I hope you find these resources useful.  If you have questions,
comments, or you would like to receive Adventures in hard copy, don't
hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
marie cora

Dear List Members,

Based on the responses to the question, Why did I join? many of you are
interested in alternative assessments.

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!

Best,
