W-APT™ is the WIDA™ Placement Test for ELL students. The W-APT is a local tool for:
1. Placing new ELL students in the appropriate tier (within a grade cluster) of the ACCESS for ELLs™ test.
2. Providing a screener for determining appropriate placement of new students for ELL services. ( Schools must screen new ELLs within 30 days of enrollment.)
3. Determining the ELP level for WKCE decision making.
In this overview, participants will receive a binder with the downloaded testing documents for using W-APT™ at their school. We will review the W-APT™ testing manual and practice administering and grading student exams at various grade levels. Unlike the ACCESS for ELL™ exam, test administrators are not required to pass the online quizzes in order to administer the W-APT™ placement test. However, since this test is scored in its entirety by the test administrator, it is anticipated that individuals administering the exam be knowledgeable with the scoring criteria.
