About

Standardized Testing in Washington State

The ESD 112 Student and School Success team offers personalized trainings and connections that districts and teachers need to support the state’s standardized testing program. A custom support plan could include training for new staff, support with the formative assessment process, or assistance in analyzing student data. Email kathy.whitlock@esd112.org for more information.

State Testing Resources

Washington students are tested regularly by the state to assess their progress as they move through school. State tests include Smarter Balanced, Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS), End-of-Course (EOC) exams and Washington – Access to Instruction and Measurement (WA-AIM). You can find more information at OSPI’s State Testing page.

Another valuable resource is Ready Washington, a coalition that supports college and career-ready learning standards.

This January, in celebration of School Board Recognition Month, we extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated volunteers who serve on the ESD 112 Board of Directors.

We are pleased to welcome the newest member of the Board, John Deeder, who was officially sworn in on Tuesday, January 27. His appointment brings extensive public education experience and a strong sense of community leadership to the team. Deeder serves District #4, including Ridgefield School District, North Vancouver Public Schools, and parts of Battle Ground Public Schools.

We asked John to share what his motivation was for serving on the board. He shared:
“Given the honor to serve on the ESD Board helps me give back to the community that I feel privileged to be a part of.”

John Deeder comes to the ESD 112 Board with over 40 years of public education experience, having retired in 2017 as superintendent of Evergreen Public Schools. His educational career spans multiple roles across Oregon and Washington, including teacher, counselor, coach, principal, and various leadership positions. Throughout his career, Deeder championed initiatives such as all-day kindergarten, personalized learning models, and equity-focused programs that removed financial barriers for families while also guiding the district through major challenges, including a $26.3 million budget reduction during the Great Recession.
