Maine began to participate as a Charter State.  Our biggest challenge is
money.  Although we have for years been actively involved in EFF and in many
areas still are, we do not have the money at this time to continue to
participate in the project.  Our biggest concern about the EFF assessments
is the cost of the assessments to each program.  We are a small state
population wise and receive a relatively small amount of money.  I will be
anxious to hear this addressed during the week.
 
Thanks,
 
Marcia

Subject: [Assessment 264] Questions about the new ETS assessments


Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all.  I hope this email finds
you well.
 
I would like to welcome Julie Eastland from Educational Testing Services,
here during this week to respond to your questions about the development of
three new assessments in ABE.  I understand that there may also be some
folks from the Charter states currently involved in the project who can
respond as well.  Thanks to you all for sharing information and your
thoughts with us.
 
I would like to start by asking if any of the Charter state members can
share with us how they feel they have benefited from participating in this
project, and what types of challenges they may have encountered.  
 
Thanks,
