Do they feel that the learners are being better served now? Phil Cackley REEP Arlington, VA This is truly information we need and want to know. If there are folks on the list who fall into the above categories (USDOE/Funders), would you please provide a response? If there are folks on the list who might not fall into these categories, but who can speak to these questions, would you please provide a response? Thank you, marie cora Moderator, NIFL Assessment Discussion List, and Coordinator/Developer LINCS Assessment Special Collection at http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ marie.cora@hotspurpartners.com
