X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Status: O Content-Length: 2940 Lines: 77 Hello~I work in Massachusetts at the Department of Public Health in Women's Health. One of the issues we have struggled with, especially as funding shrinks, is evaluation of outreach and education efforts. This is why I signed up for the listserv and I had hoped to learn more about performance measures, and outcomes. Maybe I'm on the wrong list. I am currently trying to evaluate the success of a peer education curriculum designed to motivate women to get breast and cervical screenings. Any information about measuring behavior change would be really helpful. I'm not usually a quiet observer either but often feel concern lately about putting things in writing in the current climate of government. Thank you to the participants who keep the discussions going.

Good day everyone! (or afternoon or evening, depending where you are!) I wanted to share with you all that we have 402 people subscribed to this Assessment List. That's no small number! But we've only heard from such a small fraction of folks. (But small is also good! We've had great conversations here, to be sure!) I'm wondering what some of you 402 would like to talk about next? Or continue to discuss? Here are some ideas I have. Please jump in and start up a thread, or suggest your own topic. -What's the difference between norm-referenced and criterion-referenced? Does it matter? If so, why? -Are there practitioner students (student teachers) on the list? What are your concerns about assessment as a new teacher? -Is your state developing curriculum frameworks or content standards or assessment standards? If so, what is your state doing? How is the state developing this material? Who's involved? -Do you think we in ABE have anything to learn from the K12 experience in the area of assessment? If so, what might that be? -Would you like to see guest moderators on the list? If so, what topics? Suggestions: more on the NRS; what exactly is a standardized assessment? more on PBA (performance-based assessment) and rubrics; student self-assessment. Thanks and looking forward to your thoughts and questions. marie cora NIFL Assessment List Moderator _________________________________________________________________ Check out MSN PC Safety & Security to help ensure your PC is protected and safe. http://specials.msn.com/msn/security.asp
