Measure of Developing English Language Development (MODEL™)
The MODEL is a series of standards-based criterion-referenced
academic English language proficiency assessments developed by the WIDA consortium.
All test items are aligned to the WIDA English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards, which were
adopted by TESOL in 2006 as their ELP standards. Each test assesses students' abilities in
all four language domains (Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading), and evaluates Social and
Instructional English as well as academic language corresponding to the subject areas of Language
Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The assessments are designed according
to grade level clusters: Pre-K - Kindergarten, 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
Beginning on July 1, 2009, the Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) requires districts to use the MODEL for Kindergarten assessment instead of the WAPT to
screen students entering Kindergarten and first semester 1
st grade. All Illinois schools are required to use the new MODEL screener to
identify whether these students are eligible to receive ELL services. Please remember that per
state law,
every
child (pre-K through grade 12) that enrolls in an Illinois school district is required to
be given a
Home Language Survey (HLS) to determine eligibility for language support services. Any
student whose parent answers "yes" to one or both of the
HLS questions
must
have their English language proficiency assessed using the appropriate state-prescribed
screener. Students who enroll in CPS in the second semester of 1
st grade (third or fourth quarter) and above will still be screened using the WAPT
screener for their grade level cluster (1-2, 3-5, 6-8, or 9-12).
Charter, contract, and AMPS schools are
not exempt from this state requirement.
