How can parents be more involved in making sure that special needs students can meet these standards?
The most important thing parents can do is to stay engaged in their childs education. Talk with teachers regularly about any problems your child is having in mastering basic reading, writing and math skills, and provide extra help at home. Use the released WASL test items available on the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction web site at www.k12.wa.us to better understand the skills and knowledge required at each grade level. When Certificate of Academic Achievement or Certificate of Individual Achievement requirements for special needs students are finalized, make sure the individual education plan developed for your child is appropriate for his/her abilities.
