Alternate Site Testing Coordinator Training
Sites may not conduct WIDA ACCESS testing without a Site Testing Coordinator or Alternate Site Testing Coordinator present during testing sessions. It is not required for sites to have an Alternate Site Testing Coordinator; however, larger sites should consider having one in the event of a longer-term absence of the primary Site Testing Coordinator.
By January 16, sites who want an Alternate Site Testing Coordinator, the Alternate Site Testing Coordinator will complete the following steps to complete training. The Alternate Site Testing Coordinator must meet all requirements to administer WIDA ACCESS tests and complete the following actions with the trained ACCESS Site Testing Coordinator:
