WIDA’s vision is to be the most trusted resource in the education of Pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 language learners. Executive Summary The World-class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Measure of Developing English Language (MODEL)™ is an off-the-shelf series of academic English language proficiency assessments for English Language Learners (ELLs) in Kindergarten through Grade 12. The test for Kindergarten was developed from 2006–2008 and became available to WIDA Consortium members and non-members in October 2008. The test for Grades 1–2 and the test for Grades 3–5 were developed from 2008–2010 and became available in August 2010. The test for Grades 6–8 and the test for Grades 9–12 were developed from 2009–2011 and became available in September 2011. The purpose of this technical report is to describe the development and field test of WIDA MODEL for Grades 6–8 and 9–12. The development and field tests of WIDA MODEL for Kindergarten and Grades 1–2 and 3–5 are discussed in separate technical reports. This report about WIDA MODEL for Grades 6–8 and 9–12 provides background information about the purposes, format, and scores (Chapter 1); describes how the tests were developed (Chapter 2) and field tested (Chapter 3), presents technical properties of the field tested items and tasks (Chapter 4); explains the linking of WIDA MODEL to the WIDA English Language Proficiency (ELP) levels1 (Chapter 5); and provides an argument-based framework to support the validity and reliability of the test (Chapter 6). Summary Highlights Background Information (Chapter 1) WIDA MODEL is a series of English language proficiency assessments, which evaluates ELL students’ academic English language proficiency in the four language domains of Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. All items and tasks in those sections are aligned to the WIDA ELP Standards (i.e., Social and Instructional Language, Language of Language Arts, Language of Mathematics, Language of Science, and Language of Social Studies). WIDA MODEL can be used to determine the academic English language proficiency level of students who are new to a school or to the U.S. school system and to identify and place students who are candidates for English as a Second Language (ESL) and/or bilingual services. In addition, in states that are members of the WIDA Consortium, WIDA MODEL may be used to determine tier placement on the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs® test (hereafter referred to as ACCESS), to track students’ proficiency at an 1 WIDA MODEL was developed using the 2007 ELP Standards (Gottlieb, Cranley, & Cammilleri, 2007). These standards were updated in the 2012 Amplification of the English Language Development Standards, Kindergarten- Grade 12, which can be found on the WIDA website (www.wida.us/standards/eld.aspx). iii additional time during the school year, and to replace the WIDA-ACCESS Placement Test (W- APT)™. WIDA MODEL contains both a full-length assessment (MODEL) and a Screener (MODEL Screener), which includes all tasks from the Speaking and Writing sections of MODEL but fewer items in the Listening and Reading sections. MODEL Screener was developed because stakeholders saw a need for a less time-consuming test that would still determine students’ language proficiency levels, tier placement on ACCESS, and need for ELL services. MODEL Screener, however, cannot be used to determine amount, type, or exiting of ELL services. In both MODEL and MODEL Screener, the Speaking section consists of constructed-response tasks that target progressively higher proficiency levels and are administered to individual students in an interview format. The Listening section in MODEL has multiple-choice items, is administered to individual students, and has Low, Mid, and High placement levels so students take only items that are appropriate for their proficiency level. The Reading section in MODEL is also multiple-choice and has Low, Mid, and High placement levels, but the section may be administered to individual students or to a group. The Listening and Reading sections in MODEL Screener have the same format and administration as in MODEL, but they contain fewer items and students are not placed into different levels. The Writing section in both MODEL and MODEL Screener contains two parts: Part A, which asks students to respond to open-ended questions that require only short answers; and Part B, which requires a more extended response that is administered only if students are able to meet expectations on Part A. The Writing section may be administered to individual students or to a group. After completing a test administration with a student, the test administrator uses lookup tables to convert raw scores to scale scores and proficiency levels. Scores are computed for all four language domains as well as three composite scores—Oral language (Listening and Speaking), Literacy (Reading and Writing), and Overall (all four domains). Proficiency level scores render a student’s scale score in terms of the WIDA ELP Standards. Test Development (Chapter 2) The WIDA MODEL tests for Grades 6–8 and 9–12 originally used folders of items that were retired or removed from the ACCESS operational test, resulting in a format that is patterned after the ACCESS tests for Grades 6–8 and 9–12. Due to limited availability of retired folders, additional folders were either selected from the ACCESS field test or were newly created by Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) item writers or external item writers. iv All items underwent a series of reviews to ensure that items contained the appropriate content for each grade level and proficiency level, were appropriate and universal to people of different ethnic backgrounds, and did not contain cultural bias or sensitive topics. In addition, cognitive labs were held to collect information about administration procedures and times, accurate placement of students in Low, Mid, or High levels, quality of text and graphics, and the ability of items and tasks to elicit expected language. A number of quality checks, such as proofing and key checks, were conducted before the WIDA MODEL test forms were finalized. Field Test (Chapter 3) Field testing for Grades 6–8 and 9–12 was conducted with 1,256 students in 24 schools in four WIDA states—Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, and New Mexico—from November through December 2010. CAL hired field test administrators to assist with the testing of students. The field test administrators followed the same procedures, administration, and scoring guidelines as would be used for operational testing. Field Test Results (Chapter 4) Raw data for the Speaking, Listening, and Reading sections were entered and cleaned electronically. The items were scored dichotomously as correct or incorrect so the functioning of items could be analyzed psychometrically and total raw scores could be calculated. An outlier analysis was conducted on the data for the Listening and Reading domains to ensure that students that had discrepant performances on MODEL and ACCESS were not included in calibration and linking procedures. Following the removal of outliers, Rasch analyses revealed that, overall, the Speaking, Listening, and Reading items are productive for measurement and measure the intended construct. For the Writing sections, sets of writing samples were selected to calibrate test development staff at CAL and, later, outside consultants. After all raters were trained to reliably score the calibration samples, all writing samples were rated operationally. Linking WIDA MODEL to WIDA ELP Levels (Chapter 5) To facilitate the interpretation of WIDA MODEL scores, scores on the test were linked to scores on ACCESS so they can be understood in terms of the WIDA ELP Levels (Level 1 Entering through Level 5 Bridging). Linking studies were conducted in order to produce lookup tables, which show the proficiency level scores that correspond to students’ raw scores and scale scores for each grade, placement level, and domain. In the linking study for Listening and Reading, psychometric methods were used to link WIDA MODEL scores to ACCESS scores.

  • Georgia Peer Review Letter 9-12-2019 (PDF)
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION The Honorable Richard Woods Superintendent Georgia Department of Education 1554 Twin Towers East 205 Jesse Hill Jr. Drive, SE Atlanta, GA 30334 September 12, 2019 Dear Superintendent Woods: Thank you for your participation in the U.S. Department of Education’s (the Department) assessment peer review process under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). I appreciate the efforts of the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to prepare for the English language proficiency (ELP) assessment peer review, which occurred in April 2019. Specifically, GaDOE submitted evidence regarding ACCESS and Alternate ACCESS. The ESEA and its implementing regulations require a State to ensure that its local education agencies (LEAs) provide an annual ELP assessment of all English learners (ELs) in grades K-12 in schools served by the State (ESEA section 1111(b)(2)(G); 34 CFR § 200.6(h)). Specifically, the ESEA requires a State to develop a uniform statewide ELP assessment to measure the ELP of all ELs in the State, including ELs with disabilities, and to provide an alternate ELP assessment (AELPA) for ELs who are students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who cannot participate in the regular ELP assessment even with accommodations (ESEA section 1111(b)(2)(G); 34 CFR § 200.6(h)(1), (5)). The ESEA and its implementing regulations require that a State’s ELP assessments, including the AELPA, be aligned with the State’s ELP standards, provide valid and reliable measures of the State’s ELP standards, and be of adequate technical quality (ESEA section 1111(b)(2)(G); 34 CFR §§ 200.2(b)(2), (b)(4), (b)(5), 200.6(h)(2)).

  • The WIDA Accessibility and Accommodations Framework
    The WIDA Accessibility and Accommodations Framework: Considerations Influencing the Framework’s Development The WIDA Accessibility and Accommodations Framework: Considerations Influencing the Framework’s Development Lynn Shafer Willner and Mira Monroe WIDA Consortium Overview WIDA Consortium member state education agencies (SEAs) provide English language learners (ELLs) with an annual summative English language proficiency (ELP) assessment to meet the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015) requirements to assess ELLs’ ELP in listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Beginning in 2015–2016, this assessment transitions from the paper-based ACCESS for ELL to a new version, ACCESS for ELLs 2.0, which has both online and paper formats. WIDA has used its transition to online testing as an opportunity to increase precision in targeting accommodation support to ELLs with disabilities, add in a broader range of universal tools which are available to all students taking the test, and expand the quality and range of multi-modal accessibility support integrated within the default design of standard test items. This paper provides an overview of the policy, practical, and theoretical rationales which shaped the design of the WIDA Accessibility and Accommodations Framework. Background The WIDA Consortium is a consortium of 38 SEAs. The member SEAs administer an annual summative ELP assessment to students who have been identified as ELLs used to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English. Per law and federal guidance, all ELLs (including those ELLs with disabilities that have been documented in Individualized Education Programs [IEPs] or 504 Plans), must participate an annual state ELP assessment aligned to state ELP standards that measure student acquisition of speaking, listening, reading, and writing (U.S.
