2015 results will set a new baseline of
student performance in Washington
Think of the standards and the assessment as a new
targets with new results…. envision two mountains:
People who successfully climb Mt Rainer (at 14,000 ft),
will find Mt McKinley Denali (at 20,000 ft) challenging.
Some will be able to meet the challenge, some will be
close and some who previously were able to summit
Rainier will not be able to summit Denali at first.
