WIDA Site Testing  Coordinator

Site Testing Coordinators create a system for success. They are responsible for organizing and maintaining documents related to WIDA ACCESS testing. 

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.

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:

• Review or attend the ACCESS Site Testing Coordinator training

  • NOTE: Alternate Site Testing Coordinators do not have to attend the ACCESS Site Testing Coordinator training, but the primary ACCESS Site Testing Coordinator is required to attend.

• Review the School Testing Coordinator OSDE Security Checklist

• Review this Google site

• Review the Assessment Culture Document

When all training is completed, please document the training with the Google training form. Once training is reviewed, approved Alternate Site Testing Coordinators will be given access to WIDA AMS.
