TELPAS Testing-It is Process

What is it? A testing process for all ELL students enrolled whether our scholar has been In the United States of a lifetime or just arrived.  The idea is to ensure that all students are being provided support in their language development and are moving forward in their language acquisition.

  • Online multiple-choice reading test
  • Online listening and speaking test
  • Holistically rated student writing collection

When is it? Due to the multiple parts of the process, it really will last from now until early April. We will train writing sample collectors (during planning next week) TELPAS raters before the end of the month, and Verifiers NOW. This will be followed by collect writing samples, practicing for the holistic online tests and finally, students will take the online test.

We can do this one step at a time.
