View the EFF Homepage at http://www.nifl.gov/nifl/eff.html, which provides you with a brief overview of the initiative. 2. Check out the EFF Special Collection (click on EFF Special Collection at bottom of homepage or go directly to: http://eff.cls.utk.edu/resources//eff.html) and peruse the collection for assessment processes, tools, and materials. 3. Would EFF users identify themselves, their state, and their program, and let us know within what context you are working with EFF (are you a classroom teacher, a program administrator, a staff developer, a policy maker?) Hope this helps to get people started. If you have questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
