Standard 4.

b Language Proficiency Assessment

Artifact 2

As the LM Coordinator at my school, I have administered WIDA APT 9 times and have

been the test coordinator for WIDA Access. Throughout this process, I have learned to use the

data from WIDA assessments to help in writing goals for ILPs.

The attached artifact shows that I have completed the WIDA training necessary to

administer WIDA APT and WIDA Access. In this training, I have learned not only how to

administer the test, but also how to use the data to aid students language development. I also

find WIDA Can-Do Indicators to be a valuable tool for content teachers once I have written

student ILPs. I pass these on to teachers so they can use them in planning goals for LM

students in their classes.

Having scores for students in each language domain is also very informative when I

complete progress monitoring for ILP goals. For instance, if I know that a student struggles with

listening and are not passing a class, I can collaborate with classroom teachers to assure that

they are providing the student with visuals and graphic organizers to make the content

comprehensible.
