LAS Links
-
Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) is the provider of LAS Links which helps identify and monitor the progress of English language learners. LAS Links is a research-based, English and Spanish proficiency assessment that measures the speaking, listening, reading, writing, and comprehension skills. With the District’s continued implementation of the biliteracy model, LAS Links Español provides evidence of Spanish language proficiency for both native and non-native speakers of Spanish in all four language domains (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). LAS Links also offers English language proficiency assessments, which can be used to measure whether English learners are meeting state-specific criteria. LAS Links aligns with several standards including the WIDA and College and Career Readiness Standards.
