Description / Comments:
Programs that teach adult English language learners face
increased accountability demands from their funders to meet
program and learner goals. Assessment and evaluation play a
critical role in measuring progress toward these goals. This
publication provides guidance on developing an effective
evaluation plan for adult English language
programs—whether in the context of family literacy,
workplace and workforce literacy, or general language
development. With an emphasis on surveys, interviews,
observation measures, and performance samples, the authors
show how staff members and learners can gain accurate
information about how well they are meetin
g their goals. The book provides many sample assessment
tools and examples of strategies for summarizing and
analyzing assessment data that can be customized to meet
program needs.
