In January 2000, the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) published Equipped for the Future Content Standards: What Adults Need to Know and be Able to Do in the 21st Century. Since then, people in states and adult education programs across the country who are using the 16 Equipped for the Future (EFF) Standards have been looking forward to the development of assessments that we can use to measure adults performance on the Standards. This guide, which highlights the EFF approach to assessment and illustrates this approach with assessments and tools for the EFF Read With Understanding Standard, will enable people to do just that.
