.doc - K-12 Mathematics Diagnostic-Intervention Program Review Report, January 2007
The Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction recently undertook a review of diagnostic-intervention programs available to the state’s educators to report evidence of alignment with Washington’s K-12 Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and moderate complexity within program assessments and instructional intervention. Please be reminded the report should not be used alone to make final decisions regarding intervention programs, but rather used to give more specific information regarding the alignment of programs to Washington Grade Level Expectations.
