This seminar, led by Craig Gabler from ESD 113, discusses critical updates on science assessments for Washington State, including 5th, 8th, and high school assessments. Key topics include the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE), End-of-Course Biology Exam, and graduation requirements. The session outlines the timeline and testing requirements for 9th to 12th graders, along with recommendations for science course completion. Additional resources are provided for educators through OSPI and ESD 113, focusing on the transition from WASL to MSP assessment frameworks.
