Richard,
I am hoping you can help me. I am on the mailing list for NIFL-FOBASICS;
however I am not sure what this organization is or its mission. Could you
share with me if you know?
Thanks in advance, Nhi

Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:869] Managing Statistics
I run a small computerized Workplace Literacy lab and have several
questions.
I hope I may receive some feedback on the following topics.
1) Students are referred to me for a 30-60 day time period to "bring
their scores up", so they may enter some form of training. What would be
considered a normative increase in TABE scores for students averaging 20
hours a week in the lab?
I do realize that "I am teaching to the TABE", but I see no alternative
given the short time periods.
2) Every 50 hours I am supposed to retest students giving the
complete TABE battery. Several students will drop out right after retesting;
they know they have done poorly even before the tests are scored. How do you
deal with this problem?
2) I am highly dependant on state, labor and county officials for
referrals. It appears that their job criteria demand that data management is
the overriding concern. The "goals" of students must be met at close to a
100% success rate, so data must be managed to accomplish this success rate.
How do others deal with this?
