English Learners

English Language Development (ELD) services provides students (K-12) with linguistic development accessing grade level academic content as they acquire English language proficiency. Multilingual students who qualify for ELD services receive appropriately differentiated levels of direct services based on their language proficiency and grade level.

 

Annual English Language Assessments

 

The State of Washington requires that students who are eligible for ELD services take an assessment yearly to measure students’ continuing progress in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. Multilingual students who qualify for services in Northshore will take the annual WIDA Access English Language Proficiency Assessment or the WIDA Alternate Access Assessment for students that qualify based on their IEP. This includes students who are eligible but whose parents have refused services.

WIDA testing will take place in-person and at school between January 29, 2024 and March 22, 2024. By fall of the following school year you will receive your student’s score report.
