SAMPLE HOMESCHOOL ASSESSMENT

Washington law requires that children be tested annually or receive an evaluation form a certified teacher currently working in the field of education.

Here is a sample assessment one teacher uses. Yours may vary. This is provided as an example only. Thanks to the provider. If you have a sample that you'd be willing to share (identifying information removed), would you consider emailing it to me for posting?
