Abstract	A women's program worked to develop procedures for assessing student progress that would help prevent the sense of failure that women reading at low grade levels often develop after failing to pass the General Educational Development (GED) Test quickly. An on-site assessment research group was formed. The group's curriculum developer created three student and teacher surveys and interviewed teachers and administrators. Three pre-GED teachers worked with their classes to set goals and construct assessment instruments to determine whether the goals were being met. A graduate student observed the teachers' classes, and the teachers field tested each others' alternative assessment activities. The survey, interview, and observation findings were synthesized into a model for developing/implementing learner-centered alternative assessment as an ongoing component of instruction. According to student and teacher feedback, the model assessment procedure informs and motivates students as they are empowered to measure their own programs and helps instructors select effective instructional practices and materials. Appendixes constituting approximately 75% of this document include the following: assessment research group meeting agendas, surveys, interview questions, assessment instruments with comments by teachers, and proposed new assessment policy. Contains a 24-item bibliography. (MN)
