ELP Assessment Update [February 25, 2022]
As we come to the end of the day on Friday, we are also crossing the halfway point in our ELP testing window. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have demonstrated this year through training, testing, problem solving, communicating, and caring for your student and staff. Thank you.
As of Thursday night, February 24, we have tested 51% of students we expect to test online. Considering all the hurdles it took to get this new assessment off the ground we are mightily impressed and grateful. Here is a break down of where we are with testing.
224,679 test sessions completed
47,824 that completed all domain tests
73,124 students have completed at least one domain test.
OSPI would like to check on the progress of testing Kindergarten students on the WIDA ACCESS test. We receive weekly updates from DRC regarding the progress of testing students who are in online test sessions, but we do not receive any information about the progress of Kindergarten or other paper tests during the testing window. Please answer the questions in the short survey linked below, so we can have a realistic picture of Kindergarten ACCESS testing progress in the state. Thank you.
