Ensure Important Tasks Are Completed for Testing
The Wyoming ACCESS for ELLs Checklist is available and should be used regularly by district coordinators, building test coordinators, and test administrators. This is an important guide that highlights all tasks that need to be completed before, during, and after testing within a school or district and shows who typically completes those tasks. The state expects the checklist to be followed while preparing for and administering the test and while tracking completed tasks.
