Required Iowa-ELDA Testing for ESL-serviced Students

The testing window for the I-ELDA opened on February 1, 2011 and will close on April 30, 2011. Every English language learner who is receiving ESL services must be tested. There is no cost to your district but there is great responsibility. Please make sure that the person in charge of the ordering has a clear understanding of the process. There are documents on the Northwest AEA site that will guide in the ordering of materials, scoring of the speaking and writing sections, and the returning of the bubble answer sheets and listening CDs.

It is very important that when ordering the tests that the ten digit state student identification number is entered correctly. An incorrect entry can delay or completely stop scoring and reporting of the students’ results.
