Assessment Providers
|
The
Washington State Home-Based Instruction Law offers parents two methods to
meet the annual testing requirement. One, your child can be tested using a
State Board of Education-approved standardized achievement test. Or two, an
assessment of your child’s academic progress can be written by a
certificated teacher currently working in the field of education. The
testing requirement is for homeschooled children between the ages of 8 and
18.
You
may contact the following Assessment Providers for more information. |
