MODEL ACCESS for ELLs^®

Funder: University of Wisconsin, WIDA

August 2008 – July 2009

CAL is developing a valid and reliable, on-demand, teacher-administered and teacher-scored assessment of English language proficiency aligned with the WIDA Consortium's English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards and modeled after the Consortium’s ACCESS for ELLs^® assessment. The proposed assessment is currently known as MODEL ACCESS for ELLs. The test is designed to assess the English proficiency of English language learners and accurately place them into one of the six proficiency levels described in the WIDA Consortium’s ELP Standards.
