Statewide Resources
Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP)
This is Washington State’s official COVID-19 site, maintained by the state Joint Information Center. It includes daily COVID-19 statistics provided by the Department of Health (DOH). There are resources in multiple languages, a phone number to call with questions about the virus, and all the news from the state in one place.
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
In response to school closures due to COVID-19, OSPI content experts have curated a selection of links to external organizations providing high-quality online educational materials – courses, lessons, videos, physical and outdoor activity suggestions, etc. Please note that in many cases, these resources are free to use online but are not openly licensed for wide scale reuse and adaptation.
These resources were carefully chosen for their alignment to Washington State Learning Standards (or a recognized equivalent) and/or direct experience with effective implementation with students. Particular attention has been given to identifying best practices and guidance in supporting ALL students and providing suggestions for educator professional learning during this challenging time.
