Who primarily uses the WIDA Assessment Management System (AMS)?

The WIDA Assessment Management System (AMS) is primarily utilized by test coordinators. This platform provides essential tools and resources necessary for managing the logistics of WIDA assessments, including the administration and reporting of results. Test coordinators play a crucial role in ensuring that the assessments are conducted smoothly, organizing the pre-assessment tasks, monitoring the testing process, and analyzing the data collected from assessments to inform instruction and support for English language learners.

While teachers, students, and principals may interact with the outcomes of the assessments, such as reviewing student performance or using results to shape educational strategies, it is the test coordinators who are specifically trained to operate and manage the AMS effectively, making them the primary users of the system. This role encompasses the oversight of compliance with testing protocols and the integration of assessment data into wider educational planning within schools.
