WIDA (World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment) is an organization that focuses on supporting educators in teaching multilingual learners, or students who speak multiple languages. It provides valuable resources, including standards, assessments, and instructional strategies, to help teachers effectively promote language development and academic achievement.
