What is the WIDA Assessment Management System (AMS)?

The WIDA Assessment Management System (AMS) is specifically designed as an online management portal for test coordinators. This system provides vital functionalities that assist in the administration of assessments related to language proficiency for multilingual learners. It facilitates the organization and tracking of student testing data, simplifies the coordination of testing logistics, and ensures that test coordinators can easily access the necessary information for effective test administration.

By using the AMS, test coordinators can manage schedules, access student registration details, and monitor compliance with testing protocols, all in one streamlined platform. This functionality is essential for maintaining the integrity of the assessment process and providing educators with insights necessary for supporting student learning outcomes.

The other options do not accurately represent the primary purpose of the WIDA AMS. For instance, while grading relates to evaluating student performance, the AMS focuses on management rather than direct evaluation. Similarly, the database for teacher evaluations and a central location for educational resources represent functions that serve different educational needs unrelated to the specific management of assessments.
