All students who have been identified as English Language Learners, whether or not they are receiving ESL services, are required to be assessed annually for English language proficiency. In Wisconsin the ACCESS test is the assessment which satisfies this NCLB requirement. The testing window for 2011-12 is Dec.1 – Feb. 10.
To ensure reliability and standardization, training is required prior to administering the test. Two levels of training are available. One venue for training is an optional face-to-face training to familiarize test administrators with the structure of the ACCESS test, the test components, and relationship of the test to the English Language Proficiency Standards. In addition, an Online Training is required of anyone who will administer the ACCESS test. Group training for new test administrators will be held in the morning. After lunch, computers will be available for those who wish to do the Online training at CESA #4.
Training for the Kindergarten ACCESS test will NOT be included, as all districts have received a professionally produced training video. However, a MODEL Kindergarten box kit, which is the optional replacement for the current W-APT, will be available for participants to preview. The MODEL box kit is the same format as the Kindergarten ACCESS will be.
Participant Cancellation Policy:
You must contact CESA 4 to cancel attendance one week prior to the scheduled event unless otherwise stated in the individual event details. CESA 4 will only provide full refund of registration fees depending on individual circumstances. Refunds depend upon the ability of CESA 4 to cancel any financial obligations created by the registration such as meals, materials, etc. CESA 4 reserves the right to cancel any workshop due to insufficient enrollment. Participants will be notified by e-mail or phone if a workshop is cancelled. If a participant is a 'no show' the school will be billed for the registration fee, or loss of the 'free' attendance slot.
Dietary Restrictions:
Because of the number of meals served, number of ingredients used, and food product changes from vendors, we cannot guarantee dietary restrictions as indicated in a user's myQuickReg profile will be accommodated. Participants with dietary restrictions such as food allergies should plan to bring their own refreshments.
Weather Conditions:
If a workshop has been cancelled due to weather conditions, every effort will be made to reschedule the workshop. If weather conditions are questionable, please call CESA 4 Voice Mail at (608) 786-4800; Toll Free (800) 514-3075. A message will be posted regarding workshop weather cancellations.
