Are there any resources to support parents in understanding WIDA Screener Scores? We have had many questions and feel like we don't have the tools to support parents.

Our Assessment Department and Multilingual Department did not have enough time prior to the start of school to be prepared to administer this screener.  This should have been rolled out sooner.  Our teachers had no idea how much work they would be expected to do with scoring items.  This process takes longer than 10 days.  I hope we will continue to have the 30 day window to qualify students next year.

I would like to be able to do the practice tests with my students independent of the test and have an option to skip that when we actually take the test.

I had students go through the practice tests with me to get ready, and then when they started the test they had to repeat them before they could get to the test. My primary students were tired by the time they got to the actual test. It seemed a waste of time to have to do the practice test a second time

The online and paper screeners were easy to administer, the manuals and scripts were easy to follow. Having the practice test for students available independently and then move right into the test for each domain was great! Scoring rubrics were clear and managing the scoring on the computer was relatively painless once some experience was gained.

I wish the directions could being in the student's home language so that they understood the prompt/task and their performance was not impacted by their reading/listening skills in English.

The Can Do descriptors that correlate with students scores are very informative for all teachers.

Is the training that folks will need to take to conduct the WIDA Access going to be as long as the screener training? If so, that along with testing sessions are going to create a lot of time away from instruction and I am wondering how folks are thinking about managing that.

I am hoping that when we get score reports for WIDA ACCESS, they come in multiple languages as opposed to just English.

I emailed to see if this was a setting on our end, but did not hear back - our students found that the Chromebook screen would go to black after 8 seconds, so they needed to constantly be moving the mouse so it would not black out.

The parent letters are still a bit confusing with the language; student level; approaching grade level, meeting grade level, exceeding grade level. How do we mark these spaces? What is equivalent to these approaching, meeting, exceeding?

The K screener seemed appropriate in the oral language sections, but the literacy sections do not seem appropriate for an incoming kindergartner. No kindergartner would be expected to be able to pass the literacy portions regardless of language proficiency level.

The DRC Insight platform froze during the test multiple times and kicked students out of the test on several occasions so that they had to log back in.

The trainings were focused for the entire US and there were some discrepancies with our state expectations; ie using a grade span below student grade; the K oral language subtests rather than all subtests

The platform for the assessments were easily managed by the students. Also, the online training was easily understood by teachers.
