Purpose and Use

الغاية والاستخدام

As a flexible, on-demand language proficiency assessment, this test can be administered at any time during the school year, depending on the needs of the district, school, teacher, or student. MODEL can be used for these purposes:

• To identify students who may be candidates for English as a Second Language (ESL)/bilingual services;
• To determine the academic English language proficiency level of students new to a school or to the U.S. school system;
• To place students into the necessary amount and type of instructional services and support; and
• To serve as an interim assessment during the school year, providing information that informs instructional planning and other decisions related to students' education.

In WIDA Consortium member states, the WIDA MODEL may serve two additional purposes:

• To determine tier placement on ACCESS for ELLs, the annual language proficiency assessment used for accountability purposes.
• To guide instructional and curricular decisions while waiting for ACCESS for ELLs score reports.

Please note that MODEL is not designed to satisfy the U.S. federal legal requirements for annual assessment and accountability and should not be the only measure used in exiting students from language support services.
