5. WIDA is… an asset-based approach
WIDA is a consortium of states dedicated to the design and implementation of high standards and equitable educational opportunities for English language learners.
WIDA is…
an asset-based approach
knowing that the standards are not prescriptive and are there to support the students’ language development within the content
a tool used for instructional planning

7. What is the big shift?
an asset-based approach to teaching, learning & assessment – knowing what your students CAN DO !​
the responsibility that ALL academic areas will intentionally support & teach ALL learners – all teachers are responsible for learning ​
ACCESS 2.0 (state test) – the assessment which addresses language proficiency through “content discourse”

10. Civics Grade 7
The results shown in Tables indicate that the percentages of students in each grade group scoring at or above achievement level 3 increase as students acquire English proficiency moving from one ESOL level to the next. In addition, the results demonstrate that when the students attain sufficient levels of English proficiency and exit the ESOL program, they are ready to demonstrate their knowledge and skills on academic achievement tests in English. The proportions of formerly ELL students scoring at or above achievement levels 3 on the EOC tests are considerably higher than those for the current ELL students. This is true for both ESE and non-ESE students.
