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.

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? ************************************************* Lauren Ellington Online Training Specialist Virginia Adult Learning Resource Center Virginia Commonwealth University 1015 W.
