WIDA Standards

WIDA Standards provide a framework to support English language learners in developing language skills across four key areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They outline what students should be able to do at different levels of language proficiency, helping teachers plan instruction that gradually increases in complexity. The standards ensure that language development is integrated with subject learning, promoting both language mastery and content understanding. Overall, WIDA Standards guide educators in creating inclusive classrooms where multilingual students can succeed academically while acquiring essential English skills.
