Special Topics Colleagues,

In preparation for our discussion Monday on formative assessment in  
adult foundation (basic) skills classes, our guests have suggested  
the following readings that will be found at:

http://www.oecd.org/document/ 
42/0,3343,en_2649_37455_40026026_1_1_1_37455,00.html

or at the short form of the web address:

The Case Studies; Literature Reviews; Overview of Policies and  
Programmes for Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Learners; and  
Country Background Reports are free and are linked at the bottom of  
the web page. You will also find information there for ordering the  
just published Teaching, Learning and Assessment for Adults:  
Improving Foundation Skills.

Key research which led up to this study, by Dylan Wiliam and Paul  
Black in England, will be found at:
