New Assessment for ELLs with DisabilitiesSeptember 29, 2008 The 19-state WIDA Consortium has received a grant of more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Education to develop the first English-language-proficiency test designed for English-language learners who have severe disabilities. They make up about 1 percent of ELLs. A roll-out of part of the new test system could happen in the spring of 2010. Craig Albers developed and field-tested the assessment and is this project’s principal investigator. More information is available here.
