Greetings all,

After reflecting on postings from the past week on National Standards, I 
reviewed questions that subscribers have sent to me about Standards, in 
general.  The most common question appears to be: What are States currently 
doing with Standards?

What is the process that States have gone through when developing or 
creating Standards, adopting or adapting existing Standards (such as 
Equipped for the Future or other Standards), or combining/linking 2 or more 
sets of standards?  What have been the major challenges in this 
process?  What have been the benefits?  What changes have you seen in your 
adult literacy programs as a result of the process?

Are any States willing to share with us?

Thanks,
Aaron
