The following memo was released last month: Establishing Exit Criteria for English Learners (ELs) Taking WIDA Alternate ACCESS Memo. This memo details the overall proficiency level needed on Alternate ACCESS for an EL student with a significant disability to be considered proficient and exit EL status. Included in the memo is information on forthcoming guidance and training this spring. Contact IDOE’s Office of English Learning and Migrant Education with any questions.
