What does Access assessment monitor, according to WIDA?

  1. Student attendance and participation

  2. Progress in social/instructional language, ELA, math, science, and social studies

  3. Teacher performance in the classroom

  4. Family involvement in education

The correct answer is: Progress in social/instructional language, ELA, math, science, and social studies

The Access assessment, according to WIDA (World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment), specifically focuses on monitoring the progress of English language learners (ELLs) in their development of social and academic language skills. This includes areas such as social/instructional language, English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies. The importance of this monitoring is to ensure that ELLs are developing the necessary language skills to succeed across various content areas, which is essential for their overall academic achievement. The assessment helps educators understand where students are in their language acquisition process and enables them to tailor instruction accordingly to support individual learning needs. The other options do not align with the primary purpose of the Access assessment. While attendance, teacher performance, and family involvement are important aspects of a student's educational experience, they are not the focus of this specific assessment, which is dedicated to tracking language development.
