Hi everyone,
 
A lot of information and terms have been used with the discussions this
week.  I would like to point out a couple of resources where you can
find some further info on tests (someone inquired about the CASAS), and
where you can see some definitions of assessment terms as well.  
 
Sorry!  Don't have a definition for Literacy!  Perhaps that's for us to
work on together?
 
You can go to the LINCS Special Collection in Assessment at
http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/
At the Collection, you can find a section on Published Tests that will
take you to the homepages of some of the commonly used assessments.  You
can also find the Assessment Glossary, and on-line resources for further
reading.
 
You can also go to the Adult Literacy Education Wiki (ALEWiki) at
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page
and click on Assessment Information (number 3.7).
At the ALE Assessment Wiki you can also find info on commercially
available tests, a Glossary, on-line links for assessment, and past
discussion excerpts from this List.  At the ALE Wiki, YOU can contribute
to the information there - a wiki is an interactive site where you can
add information as well as go get it.
 
This will whet (wet?) your whistle - taken from the ALE Assessment wiki:
 
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Grade_Level_Equivalent
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Scale_scores
 
If you have further questions, ask away!
 
Thanks!
