WIDA
What is WIDA?
Helping multilingual learners – and their educators – reach their potential
At WIDA, we create more than just assessments. We support students, families, educators and administrators with high-quality, research-based tools and resources dedicated to language development for multilingual learners.
We strive to provide multilingual learners – of all ages and all levels of language development, in programs and classrooms around the world – with an equitable opportunity to obtain a quality education that reinforces learner assets.
At WIDA, we believe that the best way to support multilingual learners’ success is to support the entire system. Not only do we design the standards and assessments, we also create teaching tools and offer instructional support to make language development and learning more effective. We provide opportunities for professional learning to empower educators. We continually collaborate with educators, state and local educational agencies, researchers, policy-makers, and thought-leaders worldwide to seek out even more ways to further language learning.
