Event Date Aug 30, 2018
The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is the successor to the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). State and federal laws require that local educational agencies administer a state test of English Language Proficiency (ELP) to eligible students in kindergarten (or year one of a two-year kindergarten program, sometimes referred to as "transitional kindergarten") through grade twelve. This one-day workshop covers the initial assessment only. Participants will need to attend a separate workshop to be certified for the summative assessment.
Those in attendance will learn to reliably and validly administer the ELPAC, score the speaking items through a calibration process, and receive certification to administer the Initial ELPAC Assessment at the completion of the workshop.
Important: The ELPAC initial and summative tests are not the same and require separate trainings. Test examiners who have already administered the summative assessment, must still attend a separate training to be certified to administer the initial assessment.
It is recommended that districts send multiple assessors because ELPAC tests are administered in grade levels K, 1, 2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
Per CDE requirements, participants must remain the entire session to receive certification.
