WIDA provides language development standards, assessments, and professional learning resources. It is especially valuable for understanding how to scaffold instruction based on students’ English proficiency levels.

WIDA is beneficial for teachers because it helps show what English learners can do at different levels. WIDA assists teachers in designing lessons and activities based on what the students are prepared to do in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. WIDA also includes tests like ACCESS, which indicate how much progress the students have achieved in the aspect of English, so the teachers can view what progress they have achieved and assist them accordingly. It's a great way for teachers to able to work together with families and make all the students feel welcome and included in class.
