Letter from Larry
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.
