Dear Colleagues:

The Oakland Adult and Career Education program is
conducting a self study on Best Practices.  We have
personally interviewed several of our teachers as well
as representatives of other districts within
California.  I volunteered to ask for information from
programs outside the state of California.  We are
especially interested in obtaining hard copies of
assessments and level standards.  Here is the list of
questions that can be answered by email on this list,
and which may stimulate some dialogue.

School District/Program:           Contact Person:
 
 Position:                email address:             
         Phone:             
 
  Address:

 I.  LEVEL STANDARDS:  What ESL level standards are
 used in your program?  Are they state supplied,
 program generated, or a combination of both?

 II.  STUDENT ASSESSMENTS:  What are the student
assessment systems/tools your program uses, other than
CASAS?  How are they used in measuring student
progress?

 III.  EXIT ASSESSMENTS:  What are the level exit
assessments your program uses?  How and when are
students promoted?  What was the development process
and timeline?

 Please send hard copies of the above to : 
                  Bonnita Solberg, Teacher on Special
Assignment
                  % Oakland Adult Career & Education
Program
                  Neighborhood Centers
                  750 International Blvd.
                  Oakland, CA  94607

 Thanks for sharing!    Bonnita
