Hi Jean and everyone,

I'm sure George can definitely fill you in about CASAS, but I also
wanted to remind folks that Jane Eguez, Director of Development and
Certified Trainer at CASAS, will be our guest here on the list during
the week of Dec. 6.

For updates and information on the LINCS Assessment Special Collection,
or for information on the NIFL Assessment Discussion List, go to the
Showcase at the Homepage:

Thanks,
marie cora
Moderator, NIFL Assessment Discussion List, and 
Coordinator/Developer LINCS Assessment Special Collection at

Thanks George for your insights and link. I don't use the CASAS. Can you
help
me understand what that 210 score means?

having a 41% adult population rate at Level I.  The vast majority of
students
in our program test at a 210 or below  on the CASAS and word recognition
and
oral reading ability of level 4 and below on the DAR.  A smaller
proportion
of our students (all in the pre-GED category) are at a higher level, and
for
them progress is much more extensive.
