Washington State I-BEST

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges created the I-BEST program model and developed a funding model to enable students who qualified for basic skills instruction (based on scores on the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems [CASAS] test used by the state for basic skills students) to take college-level occupational courses that are team taught by a basic skills instructor and a professional-technical faculty member.

About-Casas

CASAS – Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems, provides testing of basic and academic skills for youth and adults and curriculum tools for you to design instruction.




Our tests are valid and reliable for native and non-native English speakers and assess reading, math, listening, speaking, and writing from the lowest literacy levels to high school exit and transition to postsecondary education, training, and the workforce.

The United States Department of Education and the United States Department of Labor have approved our tests.

Administrators and instructors value CASAS because tests track longitudinal progress and certify attainment of benchmark proficiency levels.

Employers value CASAS because test results provide an international standardized benchmark system to certify work-related skills and English-language proficiency.

Test-takers value CASAS because tests cover everyday situations relating to their lives, employment, and goals.

Federal and state government agencies, business and industry, colleges, education and training providers, and correctional facilities use CASAS.
