ESL/ESOL Teacher in a WIDA State? You need this ACCESS goal setting sheet!

As educators, we know how powerful goal setting can be—especially for our English and multilingual learners. That’s why I created a bright, student-friendly WIDA ACCESS Goal Setting Sheet to help students take ownership of their language learning and progress! 🟡 Why Goal Setting for the WIDA ACCESS Test Matters The WIDA ACCESS test measures English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. For many students, it can feel overwhelming—but setting clear, achievable goals makes the process more meaningful and motivating. When students see where they are now and where they want to be, they become active participants in their growth. They’re not just testing—they’re aiming, planning, and improving. 🎯 About the Goal-Setting Sheet I designed this sheet with both students and teachers in mind. It’s colorful, easy to understand, and perfect for grades 3–12. Each language domain (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) and Overall section is represented by a bullseye target, where students can: * Mark their current scores * Set a personal growth goal * Celebrate when they meet their goals! 💡 How to Use It Use this sheet at the beginning of the year, during mid-year check-ins, aor right before ACCESS testing. It’s also a great visual to share during student conferences or parent meetings. This tool encourages conversation, builds confidence, and supports growth mindset. ✅ Get Your Copy If you’re ready to empower your students with clarity and confidence, grab your editable goal-setting sheet now! It’s perfect for helping students track progress and visualize success. Let’s help our students *see* their goals and *reach* them, one bullseye at a time!
