What is being done to provide teachers with more tools to help students with the WASL?
A. This fall, OSPI expects to release between 30% and 40% of all items from the 2001 WASL, including all of the writing prompts. To help educators make use of these items, OSPI plans to: • Provide educators with information about how students generally did on the released items. • Provide an annotated set of anchor (exemplar) papers for all of the released short-answer/ extended-response items, and writing prompts so that teachers and parents can better understand what “meeting the standard” really looks like. • Conduct nine workshops for teams from schools and districts in late October and early November to help educators use WASL information to improve student learning.
