[AAACE-NLA] Delusion of Accountability in Adult Education (longer)

[AWilder106@aol.com]

Andres,

(I will try to wind my way through your rhetoric.)

Ok, you say that there are some assessments that can be used, what are they?  

What do your teachers use to assess their students at the end of a literacy course?  Types of assessments?

I think, but am not sure, you get money from your local community for your programs;  are you part of a larger institution?    Grants?  State monies?  Do you get  money from the AELS?

I would trust you as a teacher if I knew something about your work, your background,  your students.  The problem is you don't teach students in 50 states, so your background, teaching ability, are not applicable to all cases.  I am interested in (perhaps multiple)  ways of gathering data that are comparable across cases, that are  valid and reliable.  

You are part of an accredited institution (I think) and that may be part of a solution.  There may be multiple answers to the problem.
