Alternate ACCESS Score Reports

 

Individual Student Scores Domain Scores (PER WIDA- www.wida.us)

 

The Individual Student Report contains detailed information about a student’s performance on each section of Alternate ACCESS for ELLs.

 

It is primarily for students, parents or guardians, teachers, and IEP teams. It provides a snapshot of how well the student understands and can produce the language needed to access the academic content presented in an English language classroom.

 

The Individual Student Report shows a proficiency level and a scale score for each of the four language domains (per WIDA):

• Listening
• Speaking 
• Reading
• Writing

 

Students will receive scores for their language based on their test. Proficeinty level scores will describe a student's performance in terms of the five WIDA Alternate English Language Proficiency Levels:

 

Level 1: Entering

Level 2: Emerging

Level 3: Developing

Level 4: Expanding

Level 5: Bridging 

 

Alternate ACCESS proficiency levels are unique. A student who scores a PL1 Entering on Alternate ACCESS is not necessarily performing at the same level as a student who scores at the Entering proficiency level on ACCESS Online or ACCESS Paper. (WIDA)
