What is WIDA and what does it have to do with UDL? WIDA (World-class Instructional Design and Assessment) Consortium is the model instrument that the NCDPI has selected to be implemented throughout North Carolina. Among the many resources that WIDA offers we can mention the W-APT identification assessment, the ACCESS assessment, and the ELP Standards.

WIDA Supports Another tool that WIDA has developed is the supports. Support is an instructional strategy or tool used to assist students in accessing content necessary for classroom understanding or communication. Some support may include teaching techniques such as modeling, feedback or questioning. Others involve the students using visuals, interacting with others, or using their senses to construct oral or written meaning.
