K Screener Guidance Document New 2/1/23
Webinar providing an overview of administering the WIDA K Screener initial administration, early administration, best practices, potential conflicts, and additional administration.
Due to paper-only format of the K Screener assessment, a participating student demonstrating English language proficiency on the K Screener may generate an EL conflict in the Accountability Reporting application. In these cases, the LEA will need to upload the student’s K Screener scoring documentation through the Accountability Reporting application’s conflict resolution process in order to address the conflict.
We are excited to team with your district/site to provide integral training to your staff in working with Oklahoma’s English Learners.
