- 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).

people around the world than to sit down with a panel of
