[Assessment] FW: [AAACE-NLA] Need Help with Grade Equivalency CategoriesSouth, Shauna Shauna.South at schools.utah.govWed Jan 18 15:53:53 EST 2006
This appears appropriate on the surface for volunteer tutors. Depending on how they are going to use the information, it might be a good idea to clarify that GLE used this way does not necessarily mean that a student is reading on grade level. Each state seems to interpret what Grade level means in academic areas. What these NRS levels mean to me is that the student being assessed with the adult ed assessment has been correlated to the National Reporting System. Actual cognitive skill levels for that person may not necessarily be at those grade levels. I believe the DOL likes to see these GLE's. I think it depends on how you are going to have the volunteers use this information. -----Original Message----- From: assessment-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:assessment-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of Marie Cora Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 2:04 PM To: Assessment Discussion List Subject: [Assessment] FW: [AAACE-NLA] Need Help with Grade EquivalencyCategories Hi everyone, I'm forwarding this query for your responses from the NLA List. marie ***** Hello all, I am needing to communicate "grade level equivalency" categories with adult literacy volunteer tutors and would like to gather opinions on how to best do this. My first thought was to use the already established NRS categories, which are: Beginning Literacy (0-1.9 grade level) Beginning ABE (2-3.9) Low Intermediate ABE (4-5.9) High Intermediate ABE (6-8.9) Low Advanced ASE (9-10.9) High Advanced ASE (11-12.9) What do you think? Any better ideas out there??? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
