[AAACE-NLA] "Gold Standard?"

[Marie Cora]

Hi Andrea and all,

You said: " Also--has anyone made use of John Strucker's reading
profiles on the nifl site?"

I'd really like to know about that as well:  anyone out there utilizing
this material?

There will be aguest discussion of this on the Assessment Listserv
(http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/)
Hosted by Rosalind Davidson, colleague of John Strucker.

Here's the citation lifted from the LINCS Assessment Collection (same
address as above):

Assessment strategies and reading profiles: research-based assessment
practices for the adult education classroom
http://www.nifl.gov/readingprofiles/
The site describes a process for developing an individual's reading
profile that illustrates his or her strengths and instructional needs.
Based upon the Adult Reading Components Study from NCSALL.

And here is information on the guest discussion for the topic:

April 11 - 15
Topic:  Using Diagnostic Reading Assessments:  For whom, when to test,
and which to choose?
Guest:  Rosalind Davidson, Research Associate/Lecturer on Education,
National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy,
Harvard University Graduate School of Education
Recommended preparations for this discussion:
Review the assessment website based on the Adult Reading Component Study
at NCSALL.  http://www.nifl.gov/readingprofiles

Colleagues:

I am ready to stand corrected, BUT, I have been looking once more at the
Partnership for Reading website, and I don't see why those studies are
objectionable.  

There is a Denzin citation, also Kirsch/Jungeblut/Jenkins/ Kolstad, &
Hayes, Greenberg, Mikulecky, Purcell-Gates, Read, Smith, Sticht,
Strucker, and Venezky, probably names many of us know.

ALSO--was there ever a "national study of reading programs" as reported
there would be, by Christy Gullion in January of  2002?

I've gone through a lot of the Partnership for Reading web site and it
looks good. 

Also--has anyone made use of John Strucker's reading profiles on the
nifl site? 

Andrea
