The goal of this workshop is to certify you as a Test Administrator for the ACCESS for ELLs™. Individuals administering this state-mandated test must be certified. You can separately train on one, two, or three different areas of the full test battery:

  • The group administered components—Listening, Reading, and Writing
  • The Speaking test component
  • The Kindergarten test component

The choice of which areas to train in should be determined by the responsibilities you have been assigned for testing by your district or school coordinator. This training will utilize group opportunities to prepare and answer questions on the certification quizzes.

Time will be given to take the needed test(s) for certification. Participants will be certified in desired area upon completion of workshop.

Cost:
