Anuncio de la Sra. Emily Hauser
Durante las últimas 3 semanas, la Sra. Hauser ha estado evaluando a los estudiantes que no tienen el inglés como su primer idioma en casa. El estado de Indiana requiere que cada estudiante que ingresa a una escuela en Indiana llene un Encuesta de Idioma en el Hogar. Si la encuesta muestra que el inglés no es el idioma principal, entonces se debe administrar un WIDA Screener.
¿Qué es un WIDA Screener?
Es una evaluación para ayudar a identificar a los estudiantes aprendices de inglés. El WIDA Screener es una evaluación de competencia del idioma inglés que se administra a los nuevos estudiantes en los grados K–12 para ayudar a los educadores a identificar si son estudiantes aprendices de inglés (ELs). Es una evaluación flexible y a demanda que se puede administrar en cualquier momento durante el año escolar. El WIDA Screener está disponible en dos formatos: en línea (solo en EE. UU.) y en papel (en EE. UU. e internacional).
Características clave del WIDA Screener:
- Se basa en los estándares de desarrollo del idioma inglés de WIDA.
- Evalúa cada uno de los cuatro dominios del idioma: Escucha, Habla, Lectura y Escritura.
- Informa los niveles de competencia para cada dominio del idioma y para tres puntuaciones compuestas: Lenguaje Oral, Alfabetización y General; los informes de puntuación se producen solo a nivel de estudiante individual (no a nivel de escuela, distrito o estado).
- La plataforma de prueba en línea del Screener califica automáticamente los dominios de Escucha y Lectura durante la administración. Un evaluador local capacitado califica los dominios de Habla y Escritura.
- El Screener en papel es calificado localmente por evaluadores capacitados. Los dominios de Escucha y Habla son entregados por medios.
- El screener para Jardín de Infantes es calificado localmente por el administrador de la prueba.
Si un estudiante es identificado como un EL, los niveles de competencia obtenidos del WIDA Screener pueden ser utilizados por los educadores para comparar entre ELs y planificar niveles de apoyo diferenciados para cada niño.
Over the past 3 weeks, Mrs. Hauser has been screening students who do not have English as their first language in the home. The state of Indiana requires that every student who enters a school in Indiana fill out a Home Language Survey. If the survey shows that English is not the primary language, then a WIDA Screener must be administered.
What is a WIDA Screener?
An assessment to help identify English learners
WIDA Screener is an English language proficiency assessment given to new students in grades K–12 to help educators identify whether they are English learners (ELs). It is a flexible, on-demand assessment that can be administered at any time during the school year. WIDA Screener is available in two formats – online (U.S. only) and paper (U.S. and International).
Key Features of WIDA Screener
Anchored in the WIDA English Language Development Standards
Assesses each of the four language domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing
Reports proficiency level scores for each language domain and for three composite scores: Oral Language, Literacy, and Overall; score reports are produced at the individual student level only (not school, district, or state)
The Screener Online test platform automatically scores the Listening and Reading domains during administration. A trained local rater scores the Speaking and Writing domains.
Screener Paper is scored locally by trained raters. Listening and Speaking domains are media-delivered.
The screener for Kindergarten is scored locally by the test administrator.
If a student is identified as an EL, proficiency level scores from the WIDA Screener can be used by educators to compare across ELs and to plan differentiated levels of support for each child.
