SUBJECT:
Preparation for 2020 WIDA Access for ELLs Testing
January 6, 2020 marks the opening of the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs test administration window. Testing will conclude on March 6, 2020. This test will be administered to every EL student with a Language Proficiency Level (LPL) of 4 or less. With the exception of a small group of pilot schools who will administer the WIDA ACCESS themselves, four teams of testers from the Evaluation, Research & Accountability Department will administer the test in each school. See complete memo below. Also attached with this memo is a test schedule that outlines the WIDA ACCESS test dates for each school.
