WIDA Online Training Materials

WIDA ACCESS Suite of Assessments

WIDA provides online ACCESS training courses designed to support district training for test administrators. Training courses include checklists and modules for administering Online ACCESS, Paper ACCESS, Kindergarten ACCESS, and Alternate ACCESS. If test administrators do not have a login to access these modules, they can contact their DAC for information on creating their own account.

WIDA ACCESS Webinar Series

WIDA and DRC offer supplemental webinars covering a range of topics relevant to District Assessment Coordinators (DAC), Technology Coordinators, and Test Administrators (TA). These webinars provide information related to WIDA AMS updates, technology set-up, pre-test and during-test activities. WIDA and DRC webinars are designed to provide supplemental information in addition to (not a replacement for) CDE’s WIDA ACCESS training sessions for DACs or local training for TAs.

Visit WIDA's website for upcoming webinars.

WIDA Screener

WIDA Screener training materials are available to Test Administrators and District Assessment Coordinators on WIDA's website. Additional training questions can be directed to the Office of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education.
