Investment Opportunity Reading assessments for low-level ESL students are rare, at best. Larry Condelli, Pelavin Research Center, is developing such an assessment as a result of his work with the Study of ESL Literacy Students and NRS system. He is looking for partners to help design, develop, pilot test, and fund the rest of the work. However, if more states get involved, and the pot is divided accordingly, and the per state cost comes down. The benefits include the opportunity for your staff and locals to be involved in the design, development and piloting testing of the instrument.
Local programs can use the final assessment.
Local program staff could be trained in using the assessment. He also has a 20 page proposal for those interested in lots of details. If you are interested, contact Larry. All of his numbers and addresses are on the attached. Keep up the good work.
