They can score on a level 1 (entering) to a level 5 (reaching). The compilation of the 16 categories gives the student an overall score. This score impacts the student's State Standardized tests. It allows the educators to understand if a lack of content knowledge is being impacted by a lack of language knowledge. ]]> 2017-11-13 20:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amybsims/pt0gnt9imvf2/wish/206485571 amybsims https://padlet.com/amybsims/pt0gnt9imvf2/wish/206488072 The WIDA website has many resources for professional development.

Regardless of if you are a CLD educator or a content teacher, there is something for everyone. You first choose your content, then grade level, next domain, then you click search. Standards based, content aligned, pre-written lesson plan attachments will pop up. Educators are also encouraged to share the lesson plans that they have created on the site.]]> 2017-11-13 20:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amybsims/pt0gnt9imvf2/wish/206489397 amybsims https://padlet.com/amybsims/pt0gnt9imvf2/wish/206491288 This barely scratches the surface of the resources on the WIDA website.
