2021-2022 ACCESS for ELLs Testing Window Extension
The English Language Proficiency (ELP) exam, ACCESS/Alternate ACCESS for English Language Learners (ELLs), will be extended until March 11. The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) worked with the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) to extend the window. The new ACCESS for ELLs testing window dates are Jan.6-March 11. The extension will allow districts additional time to complete testing students with ACCESS for ELLs assessments for both online and paper/pencil. With the extension to the testing window, the following schedule dates will change in WIDA Assessment Management System (AMS), on Kentucky’s ACCESS for ELLs website page and WIDA’s Kentucky Members/States website page:
- The additional test materials ordering window will close March 4.
- The deadline for completed testing materials to arrive at Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) is before March 18. All test materials can begin to ship to DRC starting March 14 which allows time for testing students who may transfer into the district.
- Pre-Reporting Data Validation for districts will occur April 6-20.
- Districts will receive ACCESS for ELLs reports online in WIDA AMS on May 6. Districts will receive ACCESS for ELLs paper reports starting May 23.
- Post-Reporting Data Validation after districts receive the reports will occur May 16-31.
