WASL Primer, WASL Fights

For those of you that are still confused over what your student does or does not have to worry about on the WASL, here is a good primer by Debby Abe of The News Tribune.   And here is another good story on that WASL alternative known as the "Collection of Evidence." I still think this alternative might prove to be a bit of a nightmare to administer,but good luck to the districts that are giving it a go.   This is another story in the TNT, by AP, on the fight that Terry Bergeson is expected to face next year if she runs again for her OSPI post.

Terry Faces a Tough Fight

Especially after the legislature basically turned its back on her this year and gave much of the "to do" list to the State Board of Education.   I've heard that the WEA is already working on getting someone to run against her, Charles Hasse I think. I don't think Terry has decided (at least publicly) whether she's going to run again or not.

No confidence here, either

I can see why the state superintendent's supporters are bailing on her. The system does need revamping and she has become a lightning rod for criticism. Best for her to not seek reelection and let someone in with a fresh perspective who brings a new approach.
