WIDA

WIDA (World-class Instructional Design and Assessment) is a standardized system that helps educators support students who are learning English as an additional language. It provides tools, assessments, and standards to measure language development, and guides effective instruction. WIDA’s goal is to ensure these students develop the language skills necessary to succeed academically while maintaining their cultural identities. By using WIDA, schools can better identify students’ language needs, monitor their progress, and tailor teaching strategies to foster both language proficiency and academic achievement.
