Hi everyone,

Would folks be interested in a discussion with staff that worked on this
project?

Here's the executive summary:  http://www.nap.edu/execsumm_pdf/11267.pdf

It's about 22 pages, but the first 13 give you a very good over view of
the project.  And if you want just a decent thumbnail, read the
Executive Summary and the Problem Statement at the beginning.

Thanks,

There is an overview available on the site as a pdf.  It appeared to be
about a forty page document.  Also you can go into the book and read and
print selected pages.  All of the above are at no cost.

It doesn't look like the report is available for reading unless it's
purchased.

Can you provide an overview?

Subject: [AAACE-NLA] Announcement: Report on Performance Levels for
AdultLiteracy 

April 12 -- The Committee on Performance Levels for Adult Literacy of
the National Research Council released their interim report this
morning. This report details the work and findings on performance levels
for adult literacy. The Committee on Performance Levels that was
established in response to the US Department of Education's request was
charged to:
1. Review and evaluate the procedures for determining the performance
levels for the 1992 NALS and 
2. Recommend a set of performance levels for the 2003 National
Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) that are appropriate and allow
comparisons between the two assessments.
