ELP Assessment Updates for June 4, 2018
ELPA21 2018-19 Screener Training Opportunities
The ELPA21 Screener will be updating for the 2018-19 school
year. The new screener has a number of improvements that will make for a better
testing experience and quicker scoring turnaround for most students. To
facilitate a smooth transition, OSPI is providing multiple opportunities for
trainers to attend a face-to-face training to learn about key changes, rubrics,
and other important information. If you are interested in attending, please
register at the link below. This training will last approximately 3 hours and
is intended for those who plan to facilitate local trainings to prepare test
administrators for screening in August.

The annual ELPA21 testing window ended on March 30. Score reports for students who tested this year were released in ORS on May 22 and are available for districts to use in preparing for next year. Hard copies will arrive in districts in approximately two weeks. Please contact Leslie Huff, ELPA Coordinator at OSPI, if there are concerns about your students' individual score reports.
OSPI is requesting feedback on your ELPA21 annual assessment experience. We are looking for feedback from anyone involved in the ELPA21 testing process. Please take a few minutes to provide us with information to help inform future decision. The survey will close on June 6. Thank you for your time.
