Agenda Item Summary:
|
This brief updates the ACPS School Board on the high school’s plan to administer the WIDA ACCESS to its English Learner (EL) students.
|
|
Background:
|
In previous years, the ACHS testing team would pull EL students out of class over the 8-10 week testing window to complete the WIDA Access for ELLs test, a federally mandated English proficiency test required for all EL students. In February 2023, the ACHS Titan Testing Team will implement a new testing approach for WIDA Access for ELs.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Interim Superintendent recommends that the ACPS School Board review the information in this brief to familiarize themselves with the high school plan for administering the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs.
