OSPI CHANGES AND PRIORITIES | SLIDE 11
The new “Washington Comprehensive Assessment Program”: six goals
1. Shorten the tests2. Reduce the amount of time students spend
on written responses3. Return scores more quickly4. Increase the use of technology5. Provide more diagnostic information to
teachers/parents6. Minimize costs

New math and science standards
Tests for Grades 3 through 8 will measure the new mathematics standards in 2010
Tests for Grades 5 and 8 will measure the new science standards in 2011
High school math and science tests measure the new math and science standards in 2011
OSPI CHANGES AND PRIORITIES | SLIDE 17
Math and sciencegraduation requirements
Superintendent will request that graduation requirements be delayed
State Board needs to determine “valid and reliable” criteria
Earning additional math credits stays in place
Last year for HS Math WASL to be 2010; current law calls for 2013 (legislation pending)
OSPI CHANGES AND PRIORITIES | SLIDE 18
High school math end-of-course exams
Four end-of-course exams will be implemented in 2011: Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated 1 and Integrated 2
Last year for current WASL would be 2010 A “core math” test measuring 1st and 2nd
year HS math will be available as graduation alternative starting in 2011

Computerized testing
Computer delivered tests an option in 2010; evaluation of infrastructure
Computerized testing expanded in 2011, with fall and spring testing in grades 3-8
Goal: Statewide computerized testing in 2012 Paper-and-pencil remains an accommodation and an
option Capturing responses via computer supports constructed
responses; will explore computerized scoring Current contractors have proven track record Growth scores available from fall-to-spring OSPI is exploring fiscal impacts of computerized scoring
OSPI CHANGES AND PRIORITIES | SLIDE 25
Expanded support for classrooms
Will move aggressively to provide classroom teachers with support throughout the year
Will be online tools (screening and progress monitoring)
Will be two testing opportunities Spring accountability test moved to later in
the year Districts will spend far fewer resources to
distribute, secure and collect testing materials
OSPI CHANGES AND PRIORITIES | SLIDE 26
Other testing issues
Translations Budget required cutback to translate Math/Science
into 6 languages to 2 languages (Spanish/Russian) Will work to re-instate full six-language plan
Modified tests for students with disabilities Legislature did not fund “modified” (or 2% test)
state test (WAAS-Portfolio is 1% test)
Will seek funding for this population ELL Testing
Will work toward better alignment between MSP and English language proficiency test (WLPT-II)

Math curriculum materials review summary
Strength of field is impressive in Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II
Integrated high school programs will need significant supplements
All K-8 programs will need supplements OSPI is working on supplemental materials
review and “birds-of-feather” collaboration
