WIDA

  • Screener, ACCESS, Alternate

  • What is the difference between WIDA Screener, ACCESS, and Alternate?

    • WIDA Screener: test to find students who need English Language Development (ELD) services.
    • WIDA ACCESS: test is given to all students who are in program for ELD services. The scores tell us how much English language your student is learning and if they still need ELS services. The state uses WIDA ACCESS to meet requirements for school and district improvement.
    • WIDA Alternate ACCESS: test ELD students with signigicant cognitive disabilities.
