WIDA MODEL™

Funder: University of Wisconsin, WIDA

July 2008 - June 2011

CAL is developing and will deliver a valid and reliable, on-demand, teacher-administered and scored assessment of English language proficiency aligned with the WIDA ELP Standards and modeled after the Consortium’s ACCESS for ELLs® assessment. Known as WIDA MODEL™, the test is designed to be used by states within the WIDA Consortium as well as by interested schools and districts outside the Consortium to assess the English language proficiency of English language learners for initial identification and to accurately place them into one of the five proficiency levels defined in the WIDA ELP Standards.
