Letter from Larry: Teachers of the Year Prepare Students for College and Work
Last week, nine outstanding teachers were recognized
for their incredible contributions to Washington students. Each came
from a different region of the state, many taught different subjects
and all had different approaches for reaching and teaching students.
One aspect, however, united these amazing educators: Every single one
of them demonstrates a commitment to preparing all students for the
world of college and work.
We believe these teachers have much to offer in their communities
and the state at large. That's why, this week, we will announce a new
partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction
(OSPI) to help these teachers meet with other educators to share best
practices, and help to increase excellent teaching and student
engagement across the state. We're also working on a project to utilize
and connect with winners from previous years, so stay tuned.

A Message from Partnership for Learning Executive Director Larry Ehl
Chalk one up for the public sector, which is often unfairly accused of being unable to adapt to a changing world. Responding to concerns from educators, parents and students, Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson announced today significant changes to next year's Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). For most grades, the test will be shorter and take less time, and teachers will be provided with online tools to administer the test more effectively.
