Support for Taking Driver's Test

by Kate Goodspeed

May 5, 2011

We are having difficulty with some of our non-Spanish- speaking English learner populations taking and passing the written Drivers's test here in Colorado. How about in other states? Are there states that allow illustrated tests? Are there ESL materials or programs that help these populations prepare for the tests?

May 9, 2011

I'm the CEO of an online ESL training company that hires a lot of teachers for ESL online ([link removed]).

Lori They also have assessments for initial placement and annual progress for ELLS. I guess many states are joining so there will be a common language about levels and common standards.

pizwit We have use WIDA for the last 5 or so years. I love having the standard that I allign with my states core standards when I teach. Also I really like the assessments - It doesn't leave doubt as to whether a student needs services, continuation or exiting. It is all standardized. I like being able to have the same testing so that I can assess the pro...See More
