Many of the Washington students surveyed about graduation said they are "not good" or "not good at all" at taking high-stakes tests. While testing is often still tied to graduation, community members shared their feelings about expanding graduation options so all students can succeed.

New data has been collected (survey and focus groups) for the second year of a three-year project that will inform the State Board’s understanding of district perceptions about the new high school diploma graduation pathway options. The full, two-volume report is available on SBE’s website.

The Mastery-based Learning Work Group released their latest report with recommendations to the legislature about how mastery-based learning (or competency-based learning) can be used in Washington to support student success. 

Check out the graphic summary of the report with photos and examples from schools already implementing mastery-based learning. Find the full report on SBE's website as well.
