How do I get a WIDA Secure Portal account?

Info about creating WIDA Secure Portal Accounts: District ELD Program and/or Assessment Coordinators will create a bulk upload with educators’ names and email addresses. Once the bulk educator list is created, a user with District permissions will upload this list to WIDA Client Services Center (CSC). After WIDA CSC receives and processes the bulk upload, an automatic email will be sent to educators on the list inviting them to create an eLearning account through the WIDA Secure Portal. This account will give access to the eLearning self-paced workshops and other eLearning resources.
