[LM_NET] Lexile and NWEA testing

[Deb Ennen <dennen@ISD2135.K12.MN.US>]

Greetings,
A recent post about lexiles made me do some thinking.  Our school district is 
considering switching to NWEA testing.  My principal has asked me to find 
information about how that switch has affected libraries.  I am interested in both 
high school and elementary as I am responsible for one of each.  Primary concerns 
for me are:  how does this work with or interfere with AR, are high school fiction 
and/or nonfiction labeled with lexile ranges, and if so, how was this accomplished, 
and what impact did this have on reading assignments, purchases, etc. that affect 
the media center.  Also, are there other issues I should be considering? I would 
really appreciate any information that you could offer.

Thank you
