WIDA Online Training Materials

WIDA ACCESS Suite of Assessments

WIDA provides online ACCESS training courses designed to support district training for test administrators. Training courses consist of checklists and modules for Online for ACCESS for ELLs, Paper ACCESS for ELLs, Kindergarten ACCESS, and Alternate ACCESS for ELLs administration. If test administrators do not have a login to access these modules, they can contact their DAC for information on creating their own account.

WIDA ACCESS  Webinar Series

Beginning in September, WIDA and DRC will offer a series of free supplemental webinars covering a range of topics relevant to District Test Coordinators, Technology Coordinators, and Test Administrators. These webinars will provide information on specific pre-test and during-test activities and will include ample time for questions and discussions. Each webinar will be task- or topic-specific and relevant to a particular role. The WIDA and DRC webinars are designed to provide supplemental information in addition to (not a replacement for) Colorado’s WIDA ACCESS training sessions held annually in October.

WIDA Screener

WIDA Screener training materials are available to Test Administrators and District Assessment Coordinators on WIDA's website. Additional training questions can be directed to the Office of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education.
