WIDA's Enhanced Assessment Project

In partnership with the WIDA consortium, CEEE is developing Spanish language arts (SLA) standards for Illinois. These SLA standards may be used to guide dual-language and developmental bilingual programs.

During the summer 2005, in partnership with representatives from Delaware, Washington D.C., Illinois, and Wisconsin, CEEE developed Spanish language arts (SLA) standards for the WIDA Consortium. These SLA standards may be used to

• guide the development of curriculum that promotes both communicative and academic native language proficiencies
• provide continuity of Spanish Language Arts instruction across the grades
• promote and sustain Spanish language support for academic purposes
• anchor assessment and instruction in settings where Spanish is the medium of instruction
• serve as benchmarks for stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, and Boards of Education and programs
