Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLs® Webinar Training
WIDA recently hosted three different opportunities to participate in informative web sessions on the topic of the new Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLsŪ and now has a recorded version available for WIDA Consortium educators to view.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: These webinar sessions are NOT sufficient training to be certified to administer the Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLsŪ. ALL Kindergarten test administrators MUST be retrained on the new test format via the online test administration training course on the WIDA website. Anyone who will administer the Kindergarten test must also pass the Kindergarten component quiz before administering the Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLsŪ. Kindergarten quiz scores from prior to September 30, 2008 are no longer considered valid for ACCESS for ELLsŪ certification.
OBJECTIVE: This webinar session will provide a brief overview of the structure and format of the revised Kindergarten test and explain additional resources for educators to gain knowledge and become certified to administer the revised Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLsŪ assessment.
Feel free to disseminate the information and resources provided in this recorded webinar to educators in your district and/or school. Do not post any of the materials to public websites or forums, which include district or school websites. The materials and resources shared in this informational session are for educators who are involved with the Kindergarten ACCESS for ELLsŪ testing.
