Students use subject-specific classroom work samples developed under a teacher’s supervision. Students must follow state guidelines for collections.
Students who have taken the WASL or HSPE at least once and who have not met standard in reading or writing.

Students should inform their school principal or counselor of their interest in developing a collection. The deadlines for the 2011-2012 school year are:
- Jan. 11, 2012 (for 12th graders and for augmented collections)
- April 25, 2012 (for 12th grade augmented collections only)
- June 13, 2012 (for 12th graders)

This publication can be found at: www.coe.k12.wa.us.
