2022 Summative ELPAC for All English Learners
  • All of our English Learners (EL) will be taking the Summative ELPAC between February and April. The ELPAC is a computer-based assessment that measures student English proficiency in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. Please schedule a time to work with your EL students on these Online ELPAC Practice Assessments before they take the Summative ELPAC. Thank you!

Designated English Language Development
  • Please remember that all of our English Learners (EL) need to be receiving daily Designated English Language Development (ELD) instruction. Designated ELD is dedicated time spent focusing on language acquisition and the CA ELD standards. It is important that teachers are able to “point to” Designated ELD in their daily schedule. Reviewing ELPAC scores for your English Learners in Ellevation (via Clever) can be helpful as you plan targeted Designated ELD. In addition, Benchmark’s Designated ELD curriculum (also available at Benchmark Universe in Clever) is a valuable resource for providing this required instruction.
