As you look through the resources, you will probably notice that many of them describe the assessment of children's learning. The reality is that most of the work that has been done on assessment has focused on the elementary and high school levels. This is not to say that little can be done about assessing adult students. Many of the resources included in the center, though ostensibly focused on children, are very clear and concise about the whys and hows of assessment. It does not take much adjusting to put those concepts into the realm of adult education.
Good assessment is good assessment, whether done for younger students or older students.
We strongly encourage you not to be put off by the age group being addressed. Look for the underlying concepts, principles, and techniques available and use those in your work with adult students. A Request for Assistance Because the current resources on assessing adults are somewhat slim, we encourage you to contribute any resources you may have come across or used in your work. If you have found articles, books, and so on, that have been particularly useful in the area of assessment, please let us know. We would be particularly interested in examples of or vignettes about assessment techniques you use in your courses.
