Assessing Results That Matter: Equipped for the Future's Approach to Assessment for Adult Basic Education Accountability and Improvement A policy brief (consultation draft) by Regie Stites, EFF Assessment Consortium Technical Director, that explains the EFF approach to developing good assessment tools and to ensuring that these tools are put to good use in improving the quality of adult education. A Word version of this document is available on the EFF Publications page, at: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_publications.html#Publications . 2. Equipped for the Future: A Standards Based Approach to Defining and Measuring Results in the Adult Education and Literacy System Sondra Stein, EFF national Director, delivered this paper at a workshop, held December 12-13, 2001, that brought together experts in educational measurement and assessment with experts in adult education service delivery. She talked about three things: 1. How the EFF initiative has helped to redefine the results that the adult education system aims for; 2. What the EFF approach has so far been to develop a system that measures those results for multiple purposes and audiences; and 3.What the implications of EFF work are for measuring/reporting learner gains using the National Reporting System.
