Standards Implementation in Washington
State
Our Vision: Every student will have access to state learning standards through
high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is
prepared and supported to implement the standards effectively in their classrooms
every day.
Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all
school districts in their preparation of educators and students.
Our 2-Pronged Approach:
1.
The What: Content &
Assessment System Shifts
◦ ELA and Math Shifts
◦ Assessment Claims for College
and Career Readiness
◦ Assessment System Components
2.
The How: System “Remodeling”
◦ Instructional, Assessment,
Professional Learning Systems
◦ State
◦ Regional
◦ Local
11
What do students, educators, and systems
need to know and be able to do?
How do we design instructional,
assessment, and professional learning
systems to support every teacher and
every student?
How do we know they are learning?
How do we respond?
Foundations
The “What”:
• Career and College Readiness Frame: The “4 Keys” of Career and
College Readiness (David Conley)
•State Learning Standards Shifts and Resources
The “How”:
•“System Remodeling” – A Standards Based Support and Development

Washington English Language Proficiency
(ELP)
Standards with Correspondences to K-12 and
Common Core State Standards
The 10 ELP Standards highlight a strategic set of language functions
(what students do with language to accomplish content-specific
tasks) and language forms (vocabulary, grammar, and discourse
specific to a particular content area or discipline) which are needed
by ELLs as they develop competence in the practices associated with
English language arts (ELA) & literacy, mathematics, and science.
Washington belongs to the ELPA21 consortium, which is developing
common English language proficiency assessments based on these
standards that will inform instruction so that all English language
learners (ELLs) leave high school prepared for college and career
success.
http://www.k12.wa.us/MigrantBilingual/ELD.aspx
http://www.k12.wa.us/MigrantBilingual/ELD.aspx
Professional Development
Modules for the ELP Standards
ELPA21 is working with Understanding Language and 16 teachers (8 are from Washington
state!) to develop high quality professional development to support implementation of
the ELP Standards. The training will consist of six online training modules that address
topics for both ELL and content teachers, including ELP Standards implementation,
English language application, and students’ understanding of language and content. Two
modules have been released:
• Module 1: Overview: http://www.k12.wa.us/ELPA21/Modules.aspx#1
• Help Educators to understand the new ELP standards and their connection to
college and career ready standards.
• Provide organized resources to help educators use the new ELP standards to better
support English Language Learners.
• Facilitate communication and collaboration between ELL and content-area
teachers.
• Module 2: Task Analysis: http://www.k12.wa.us/ELPA21/Modules.aspx#2
• How can educators analyze instructional tasks to better understand the content
knowledge, analytical skills, and language students are expected to demonstrate?
• What does task analysis reveal about the demands of student tasks in relation to
college- and career-ready standards and language use?

Washington State Fellows Network
The Fellows, teacher leaders who support district implementation
efforts, are a crucial part of larger systemic statewide ELA, Math,
and Science Standards implementation efforts.
The Fellows work in harmony with state, district, regional, and
local structures to build coherent and effective implementation of
the CCSS/NGSS, which will result in student growth in each district
in Washington State.
Each region has a cadre of leaders who share in common
specialized content learning along with the other regions from
across the state. Fellows work in their schools to deepen core
understandings of engaging instructional practices and leadership
strategies for professional development.

What is the Seal of Biliteracy?
The Seal of Biliteracy is an award made by the state to recognize a
student who has attained proficiency in both English and one or
more other world languages by high school graduation. The Seal of
Biliteracy takes the form of a seal on the diploma and a notation that
appears on the transcript of the graduating senior. It is a statement of
accomplishment that helps to signal evidence of a student’s
readiness for career and college, and
to engage as a global citizen.
Provisions
“Participating school districts shall place a notation on a student's
high school diploma and high school transcript indicating that the
student has earned the seal.”
Criteria
“The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall adopt
rules establishing criteria for award of the Washington state seal of
biliteracy. The criteria must require a student to demonstrate
proficiency in English by meeting state high school graduation
requirements in English, including through state assessments and
credits, and proficiency in one or more world languages other than
English. The criteria must permit a student to demonstrate
proficiency in another world language through multiple methods
including nationally or internationally recognized language
proficiency tests and competency-based world language credits
awarded under the model policy adopted by the Washington state
school directors' association.”
RCW 28A.300.575
“The Washington
state seal of
biliteracy is
established to
recognize
public high school
graduates who have
attained a high level
of proficiency in
speaking, reading,
and writing in one
or more world
languages in
addition to English”
Criteria
Feedback at:
http://www.k12.wa.us/worldlanguages/SealofBiliteracy.aspx
What the Seal means to students, especially ELLs
“I am extremely excited
because I have never
gotten the chance to put
my language to use at
school or to something
that will benefit me in the
future.”
“Having an
opportunity where
cultural skills learned
outside of school are
recognized is
fantastic!”

Strengthening Student Educational Outcomes
In the inaugural year of the Smarter Balanced Assessment, 53% of 3rd graders met
the standard on the assessment.
The ELA and LAP office are adding more resources to the Menus of Best Practices
in ELA, Math and Reducing Disruptive Behavior to support districts, schools,
students and families
At the end of October, OSPI will be releasing the list of schools whom have 40% or
more of their 3rd graders not meeting ELA standard on the Smarter Balanced
Assessment. These schools will need to implement an intervention from ELA
Menu of Best Practices and a system of collaboration with families.

Learning Assistance Program
Fall 2015 Update
LAP is a supplemental program and its goal is to accelerate student growth.
2015-16 is the 1st year the LAP program must focus first on addressing the
needs of students in grades K–4 who are deficient in reading or reading
readiness skills to improve reading literacy.
New guidance from the US Department of Education and OSPI addresses how
Title I funds in a schoolwide program may be used to help meet the LAP K-4
focus requirement. Your district LAP directors are reviewing this option for the
2015-16 school year, including whether to revise their LAP and Title I
applications.
The menus of best practices for Math, ELA, and Reducing Disruptive Behaviors
are available for use for the 2015-16 school year. Remember, the ELA menu
must be used this year for the LAP program.
OSPI will be convening the Math, ELA, and Reducing Disruptive Behavior panels
late this fall through April. Our annual updates of the menus of best practices
will be released July 1, 2016.
Learning Assistance Program & Title IFall 2015 Update
A guide to the student data tool is available on our website. OSPI
intends to launch the tool for 2015-16 data collection in
November and have it available throughout the school year.
Thank you to all the districts for completion of the LAP student
data tool. We had 100% submission! Our analysis is currently
being completed. Our legislative report is due in January.
New Directors Training Workshops were completed in Yakima and
Tumwater. A set of screencasts will be launched on our website by
the end of the month.
Please look at the LAP website for more information:

Formative Process
Use the summative assessment results as a starting point for
gathering further information on student performance using a
variety of resources, including those from the Digital Library. For
example, on the summative mathematics test:
◦ A student who is in Level 2 and At/Near Standard in all three claims: Gather
more information about which skills the student has a solid understanding, and
build on those to strengthen areas of weakness. Could include using IABs.
◦ A student who is Below Standard in Claim 1: Gather more information on the
specific content skills described in the standards with which the student
struggles. Could include using IABs.
◦ A student who is At/Near or Above Standard in Claim 1, but Below Standard in
the other claims: Gather more information on student’s ability to apply learning
to unique situations, which may include their disposition toward math and their

perseverance
toSUPERINTENDENT
solve problems
and write about mathematical ideas.
9/29/2015
114
Formative Process
◦ A student who is At/Near or Above in Claim 1 and Claims 2&4, but
Below Standard in Claim 3: Gather more information related to
student’s content vocabulary and use of academic language
◦ A classroom that is At/Near or Above Standard in Claim 1, but
Below Standard in the other claims: Evaluate the instructional
opportunities to be sure opportunities beyond facts, algorithms,
and teacher-directed procedures, including problem solving,
productive struggle, mathematical discourse and writing, and
opportunities to apply the mathematics to the real-world.
