Washington State Standards

From the State of Washington OSPI (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) home page:

The Washington State K-12 Learning Standards fully incorporated the Common Core State Standards.  "Common Core is a real-world approach to learning and teaching. Developed by education experts from 45 states, these K-12 learning standards go deeper into key concepts in math and English language arts. The standards require a practical, real-life application of knowledge that prepares Washington students for success in college, work and life."

Washington State K-12 Learning Standards provide:

  • Consistent learning expectations for all students.
  • Clear standards that focus on understanding over memorization.
  • Emphasis on the critical topics students need to succeed after high school.
  • Faster testing results with a better, more focused online assessment system. "
