Assessment Services Supporting ELs through Technology Systems

March 26, 2012

A new technology-based assessment system for English language learners will measure student progress in attaining the academic English necessary to succeed in school and, ultimately, post-secondary studies and work. The assessment system, ASSETS, is informed by rigorous research and will be supported by comprehensive professional development and outreach. ASSETS is anchored in WIDA's English Language Proficiency Standards, which align with the Common Core State Standards. Slated for release in 2015-16, it will include a computer-based language proficiency test, screener, benchmark assessments, and formative resources.
