The CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System) has a number of
assessment tools that cover both pre and post testing in reading, math and
functional life skills.  The testing is all based on life and work skills
and starts at a very low level and moves up (five levels).  The tools are
all competency-based and are "perfect" for what is being requested.  There
is also a work-based behavior scaled assessment for work skills called
POWER.  All tools have significant research behind them and are easy to use
and very practical, giving results for teachers as to what the focus of
lesson planning should include.  For more information contact ginny posey at

I just received a call from the field about assessments available for 
adult MMR learners.  I hate to admit that I didn't know of any to tell 
her.  I am hoping that you all may know of something.  Basically, this 
program is looking for an assessment that would function as an intake and 
post-test for her MMR learners in a reading program.  Does anyone know of 
anything that may help this program out?
