Seattle Schools Engage in Washington Assessment of Student Learning
Introduction
Seattle Schools are actively participating in the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) as part of the 2006-2007 school year initiative. For the class of 2008, passing the 10th-grade WASL is essential to earn the Certificate of Academic Achievement, one of four new statewide graduation requirements.
Assessment Details
The WASL evaluates students in reading, writing, and math, with science assessed separately. While many students in Seattle Schools excel in these areas, additional support is available for those needing help to meet the standards. These initiatives aim to ensure all students achieve success and progress in their education.
Supportive Programs
1. Summer College Collaboration
A unique partnership between Seattle Schools, three Seattle Community Colleges, and the City of Seattle has established a Summer College program. This five-week initiative is designed to assist high school students requiring remedial support. Held at community college campuses, it also provides a glimpse into college life. Eligibility is for students scoring Level 2 or below in any WASL section.
2. Extended Learning Summer Semester
Seattle Schools have introduced the Extended Learning Summer Semester to help students enhance their reading, mathematics, and writing skills. Ninth and tenth graders can take part in this for-credit program at Ingraham, Franklin, and West Seattle high schools. Courses encompass math, reading, social studies, language arts, science, and health. Participation requires a referral from a high school counselor.
Additional Assistance
Numerous other support programs are in development for the 2006-2007 school year. High schools across the Seattle Schools system are integrating student assistance strategies to optimize WASL performance. Many schools have introduced a seventh class period focused on remediation and tailored study needs. Additionally, tutoring sessions in math and literacy and classroom tutors are widely available.
Diverse Learning Opportunities
Seattle Schools are committed to accommodating different learning styles and schedules. Innovative offerings include intensive instructional periods, Evening School programs, Contract Learning, and the Digital Learning Commons.
These initiatives demonstrate Seattle Schools’ dedication to empowering all students to excel academically and achieve their full potential.
