  • Finding the World in Your Classroom
    This 1-hour workshop is designed to show K-12 educators how new classroom-based assessment models -- developed by teachers from around the state and under the guidance of OSPI -- can be used to infuse lessons and units with an international focus. Discussion of these assessments and other strategies will also shed light on how teachers can meet those EALRs that require students to examine the world beyond our country's borders. Furthermore, participants will be invited to participate in OSPI's pilot this year of Social Studies Classroom-Based Assessments (PDF large file 2400 K).
