CELLA
The Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA) was administered from May 2008 to May 2015 to measure the progress of English Language Learners (ELLs) proficiency in English. The ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 assessments have replaced the CELLA program.
The CELLA is a four-skill language proficiency assessment developed under contract by Educational Testing Service (ETS) that was designed to provide evidence of program accountability in accordance with Title I and Title III of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Accountability for ELLs is required under NCLB as measured by annual performance targets.
The CELLA tested four areas:
- Listening
- Speaking
- Reading
- Writing
These sections were included in each of the four test levels: Level A (Grades K-2), Level B (Grades 3-5), Level C (Grades 6-8) and Level D (Grades 9-12).
Kindergarten students were administered all four sections of the test, one-on-one with a teacher. Students in grades 1-12 took the Speaking section of the test one-on-one with a teacher; the Listening, Reading, and Writing sections were administered in a group setting.
