The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and Ready Washington invite you to join a telephone town hall meeting about Washington’s K – 12 learning standards and assessments. This is your opportunity to learn more and ask any questions you may have about learning standards and assessments in our state.
To participate and livestream a telephone town hall on your computer or mobile device on the dates above, please visit www.readywa.org/townhall.
To help ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core State Standards were established. Washington’s K – 12 learning standards are aligned to the Common Core State Standards and provide clear, consistent guidelines for what every student should know and be able to do in math and English Language Arts from kindergarten through 12th grade. The Smarter Balanced assessment system, which is aligned to the new standards, provides a way for teachers to measure student progress on those standards throughout the year and make adjustments and interventions as necessary to ensure students are on the pathway to success. The assessments are administered in grades 3 – 8 and 11.
