That's a good observation, David.  It certainly continues, though, as
you say, not as a federally-sponsored NIFL project.  I suppose the past
tense had to do with the original incarnation.

George,

I wonder why you describe EFF in the past tense (e.g. "it was a noble  
experiment").  My understanding is that EFF is alive, and perhaps  
expanding.  A number of states have formally adopted EFF as their set  
of curriculum standards and many (perhaps all?) of these are  
providing EFF training for teachers.  Sometime this year several  
states will roll out the employability credential based on the EFF  
Worker standards.  ETS has state partners and is seeking more to  
develop EFF assessments.  Given that there is no federal support for  
EFF that suggests to me that EFF, unlike APL, has a power in the  
present and may have a good future.
