Spanish Academic Language Standards and Assessment

December 13, 2011

Staff from the WIDA Consortium are beginning to develop Spanish language development standards for students in Pre-K through twelfth grade. These standards will underlie a practicable, reliable, and valid Spanish language proficiency assessment system for Kindergarten and Grades 1-2 for first-language-Spanish English language learners, and for students receiving content area instruction in Spanish, regardless of their first language. The project will collaborate with state educational agencies, institutions of higher education, local educational agencies, and other research institutions to develop, research, and administer a standards-referenced assessment system.
