Dear Rep. Quinn:

I am writing to request your assistance in placing an event on the House's invitational Calendar. The General Assembly is currently funding a program called the 12 Schools Project which is administered by the Office of Authentic Assessment in the State Department of Education. In this project, teachers in 36 schools and 24 districts are developing and piloting performance assessments which will measure whether children can apply their knowledge and skills in real world situations. On January 25, 26, and February 2, between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. in Room 208 of the Blatt Building, the schools will offer an assessment fair for the legislators. Each school will be present on only one of the three days.

All Representatives are cordially invited to drop by during any or all of these three days to see and hear about the exciting changes in curriculum, instruction, and assessment which have resulted from this site-based project. Would you please arrange for the fair to be placed on the House's invitational Calendar for those dates?

If you have questions or need more information, please contact me at 734- 8298.

Sincerely,
Susan A. Agruso, Director
Office of Authentic Assessment
