WIDA would like your input via a survey for potential users of Spanish Language Development Standards. Our goal is to evaluate how educators might use such standards and potentially an assessment measuring students' academic Spanish language usage in all content areas, including Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.

The WIDA Consortium is dedicated to providing educators with tools that assist them in meeting the needs of English language learners (ELLs). Research into best practice for ELLs supports the notion that students benefit when they have foundational literacy skills in their first language and when schools incorporate their primary language and culture into the classroom.

child writing The WIDA Spanish Language Arts Standards were modeled after English language arts standards from the WIDA Consortium member states of Illinois and Wisconsin. Thus, there is a high degree of alignment between the English and Spanish Language Arts Standards in these two states. Cross references between Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Rhode Island were also conducted.

We hope you will find the SLA Standards helpful in planning curriculum for bilingual and two-way immersion programs. We welcome your comments at info@wida.us.
