School-Wide Improvement Efforts
ACADEMY FOR URBAN SCHOOL
LEADERSHIP (AUSL)
WIDA is a consortium of states dedicated to the
design and implementation of high quality standards
and equitable educational opportunities for English
language learners. It is part of the Wisconsin Center
for Education Research at the University of WisconsinMadison.
Our four categories of work include:
Standards, Assessment, Professional Development, and
Research.
Standards-WIDA's standards show how language
learners can actively engage in learning the academic
language needed for success. The Standards include:
English Language Development, Spanish Language
Development and WIDA Standards in International
Contexts.
Professional Development-WIDA's professional
development offerings support educators to ensure the
success of language learners.
Assessment-ACCESS for ELLs is the WIDA
Consortium's secure, No Child Left Behind-compliant
assessment of English language proficiency. It is
only administered in states that are members of the
WIDA Consortium. WIDA MODEL is series of box kit
assessments of English language proficiency that can
be used as an interim benchmark assessment during
the year to monitor growth. Grades 1-12 test kits
also contain a screener form of the test for program
placement decisions. WIDA MODEL is available for
purchase by any school.
Research-The mission of WIDA's research department is
to provide timely, meaningful, and actionable research that
promotes educational equity and academic achievement
for linguistically and culturally diverse students.
