Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all.  I hope this email
finds you well.
 
Some colleagues on the List might be interested in the following posts
from the National Literacy Advocacy (NLA) Discussion List - look for How
to Aggregate Learner Goals in the subject line of the posts. 
I will continue to forward any relevant posts from the NLA on this
topic.  Feel free to chime in here on the Assessment List, or join the
NLA List at:  http://lists.literacytent.org/mailman/listinfo/aaace-nla

 
Thanks,
 
Marie Cora
Assessment Discussion List Moderator

Marty Finsterbusch asked me to post this inquiry for him:
 
Dear Colleagues,
 
In a meeting last week with Senate HELP Committee staff, they were
receptive to our recommendation that learner performance should be based
primary on personal goal attainment rather than test scores.
 
They posed a question that we need your help in answering. How could
data on personal goal attainment be aggregated in order to measure the
performance of programs and states?
 
It would be great folks on the NLA list could discuss this. Ideally, a
field-generated consensus recommendation could emerge, which HELP
Committee staff would find very helpful.
 
Sincerely,
 
Marty Finsterbusch
VALUE Executive Director
