Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires state educational agencies (SEAs) to establish and implement standardized, statewide entrance and exit procedures for English learners (ELs) . The standardized entrance and exit procedures are used to determine if a student is classified as an EL and therefore entitled to an English language development program required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA) .  \nUnder Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and EEOA, all SEAs and local educational agencies (LEAs) must ensure that ELs can participate meaningfully and equally in educational programs and services. To meet Title VI and EEOA obligations, LEAs must:  \n● Identify and assess all potential ELs in a timely, valid, and reliable manner;  \n● Provide ELs with a language assistance program, as required by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lau v. Nichols, 414 U.S. 563 (1974), that is educationally sound and proven successful, consistent with Castañeda v. Pickard, 648 F.2d 989 (5th Cir. 1981);  \n● Provide sufficiently well-prepared and trained staff and support the language assistance programs for ELs;  \n● Ensure that ELs have equal opportunities to meaningfully participate in all curricular and extracurricular activities;  \n● Avoid unnecessary segregation of ELs;  \n● Ensure that ELs who have or are suspected of having a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are identified, located, and evaluated in a timely manner and that the language needs of students who need special education and disability related services because of their disability are considered in evaluations and delivery of services;  \n● Meet the needs of ELs who opt out of language assistance programs;  \n● Monitor and evaluate ELs in language assistance programs to ensure their progress with respect to acquiring English proficiency and grade-level content knowledge, exit ELs from language assistance programs when they are proficient in English, and monitor exited students to ensure they were not prematurely exited, and that any academic deficits incurred in the language assistance program have been remedied;  \n● Evaluate the effectiveness of a corporation or school’s language assistance program(s) to ensure that ELs acquire English proficiency and that each program is reasonably calculated to allow ELs to attain parity of participation in the standard instructional program within a reasonable period of time; and  \n● Ensure meaningful and timely communication with EL parents and guardians inan understood language and method.  \n2023-2024 WIDA Assessment Guidance  \nParticipation Requirements  \nIn Indiana, all traditional public schools, public charter schools, accredited non-public sch","cbCaijkzDuf55hbE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijkzDuf55hbE","pdf",2939519,34,"English","# English Language Proficiency Requirements\n# Participation Requirements\n# WIDA Assessments in Grades K-12\n# WIDA ACCESS Annual Assessments Testing Window\n# Indiana EL Entrance and Exit Criteria\n# Scheduling and Timing Guidance\n## Translation of Directions in Native Language\n## Test Results and Reporting\n## User Roles and Responsibilities\n## Training Requirements\n## Testing Modes and Technology Guidance\n## Common Testing Issues and Irregularities\n## WIDA Accessibility Features and Accommodations\n## WIDA Alternate ACCESS\n## Support and Resources\n# Appendix A: Kindergarten W-APT Guidance and Interpreting Results\n# Appendix B: Training Course Checklist for Test Administrators\n# Appendix C: Guidelines for Completing Student Data on Test Booklets\n# Appendix D: Common Testing Issues and Irregularities\n# Appendix E: WIDA Office Hours for 2023-2024\n# Change Log","[{\"question\":\"What federal laws require states to establish entrance and exit procedures for English learners?\",\"answer\":\"The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by ESSA, requires standardized entrance and exit procedures to determine EL classification and entitlement to English language development programs.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the definition of an English learner under federal law?\",\"answer\":\"An English learner is an individual aged three through 21 who is enrolled or preparing to enroll in elementary or secondary school and whose native language is not English (or who meets specific criteria such as significant language impact or migratory status) and whose English language difficulties may limit academic standards achievement or full participation in society.\"},{\"question\":\"What participation requirement does Indiana require regarding WIDA ELP placement and annual assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Indiana requires specified school types to use WIDA English Language Proficiency (ELP) placement and annual assessments to identify and monitor English learners, including annual assessment for ELs until reaching proficiency.\"}]","2023-2024 WIDA Assessment Guidance - English Learner Assessment and Participation Requirements | PDF",1792052880,86]
