Monitoring of State Assessments

As part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), OSPI is required to develop and implement a formal monitoring plan that provides the agency feedback on district and school assessment administration procedures.

OSPI’s goal in evaluating district implementation of assessments is to use monitoring as an opportunity to better support districts by identifying areas where additional resources, processes, and/or guidance are needed. Monitoring is not a compliance activity, and evaluations made during the process do not negatively impact the district.

Assessments Monitored

The following assessments will be monitored virtually via desk monitoring.

Smarter Balanced | Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) | WIDA Assessments | WA-AIM

Monitoring Cycle

OSPI assigned districts to a five-year monitoring cycle, beginning in 2023.  For each year listed, OSPI will randomly select 20 districts for monitoring in the spring.
