Multi-Language Learners (MLLs)
Washington Borough Public Schools provides a High-Intensity English Language Program for students who are new to English. Students are tested when they enter school by a qualified ELL teacher. Based on the student’s test outcome, he/she receive the appropriate language support.
There are additional supports in place to help ELL students grow in language development. The daily What-I-Need (WIN) Period offers ELL students the opportunity to develop their academic and social language skills. Homework Club offers ELL students additional opportunities to strengthen their academic skills in language arts and mathematics.
W-APT stands for the WIDA-ACCESS Placement Test, an English language proficiency "screening" test given to incoming students who may be designated as English language learners. It assists educators with programmatic placement decisions such as identification and placement of ELLs. The W-APT is one component of WIDA's comprehensive assessment system.
Test forms are divided into five grade-level clusters:
- Kindergarten
- Grades 1-2
- Grades 3-5
- Grades 6-8
- Grades 9-12
Each form of the test assesses the four language domains of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
