Washington Assessment of Student Learning
|
Description: Indicator 1 is based on student performance on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). The WASL is administered each spring to Washington fourth-, seventh- and 10th-graders. The WASL was developed to measure how well students are progressing in meeting state academic standards. The tests are designed to measure students' progress in meeting critical learning goals that Washington educators have established in each subject area. These academic standards specify what all students should know and be able to do by graduation. These standards are called Essential Academic Learning Requirements, or EALRs. Student progress toward these learning goals is measured by the WASL as well as by a variety of other classroom assessments. Sources: See also: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
