How do I gain access to view and/or download W-APT screener materials?
Your W-APT username and password are required (this is a district-wide login, not your personal ACCESS training login). If you don't know your district's W-APT username and password, please contact your district superintendent's office. If it's not available there, contact Boon Lee or Barry Pedersen at ISBE (see "Contacts" above).
How do I set up my account for the ACCESS for ELLs Test Administrator Training Course?
Use the Account Creator.
You will need:
-
Your name as it appears in ECS
-
Your IL Educator ID Number (IEIN)
-
Your state's Account Creator username and password
-
Your email address
For information about your name and IEIN, contact the Educator Certification System at ISBE, http://isbe.net/ecs/. For your username and password, contact your ACCESS Test Coordinator for your district or Chicago 299 School, or Boon Lee or Barry Pedersen at ISBE (see "Contacts" above).
Am I required to take the test administrator training quizzes to become approved to administer the ACCESS test?
Yes.
Do I need to retake the training quizzes if I passed them in a previous year?
No, but review of the training course is strongly recommended, particularly the speaking portion.
Do I need to show proof of my passing quiz grades (80%) from previous years?
Yes.
Illinois educators, who have successfully completed the training course and quizzes and who registered with their IEIN, have their certification noted in the ISBE-ECS. It is updated monthly.
