Classroom Based Assessments

Teacher Librarians are willing and able to assist students and teachers with the Washington State Social Studies Classroom Based Assessments ( CBAs). A statewide task force is providing common resources and strategies for student achievement. We provide presentations, ideas, pathfinders of common topics, and advice for teachers and schools.
