Title: Article: English Language Learners Must Take Washington Assessment of Student Learning
Body: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/354493_bilingual11.html?source=mypi WASL: Take it without a bit of English? By JESSICA BLANCHARD March 10, 2008 The Washington Assessment of Student Learning tests have become a frustrating annual exercise for both students and educators at the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center in Queen Anne. The 263 teenage students there are all recent immigrants and refugees who don't yet speak or read well enough in English to transfer to one of Seattle Public Schools' traditional middle or high schools -- meaning that even if they understand the material covered on a section of the WASL, there's still virtually no way they'll pass. Still, federal law requires the school to make sure its students meet the same test-score targets as students who speak English fluently -- no exceptions. None of the students at the Bilingual Orientation Center in recent years has passed the WASL, landing the school on the federal "needs improvement" list -- an embarrassing label that comes with new sanctions each year.
