X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2627 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 715 Lines: 17 I agree about the EDP. This year RIRAL is coordinating a state-wide effort of adult education providers to "make" the EDP a recognized, viable secondary credential choice for learners in RI. It does eliminate the "stigma"; also, for those learners who need to develop basic skills prior to entering the assessment process, we are looking at ways of providing that broader educational experience. Because the EDP is aligned with standards and uses performance-assessments that are aligned with life skills and (life and work) experience, learners are have greater entry and task motivation for collaborating with that broader educational experience. It's a win-win situation. Howard Dooley, Project RIRAL
