[Assessment 267] Re: Questions about the new ETS assessmentsO'Connor, Susan S.Oconnor at BrooklynPublicLibrary.orgMon Mar 27 11:19:48 EST 2006
Brooklyn Public LIbrary considered participation in this project but the cost was so high that we were unable to even consider participation. This leads me to wonder about the efficacy of such an expensive venture for adult literacy programs that have no fat at all to expend on anything other than instruction. -----Original Message----- From: Cook, Marcia To: 'The Assessment Discussion List' Cc: Dyer, Becky Sent: 3/27/06 11:09 AM Subject: [Assessment 266] Re: Questions about the new ETS assessments 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.

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, marie cora Assessment Discussion List Moderator <<ATT23245.txt>>
