2019 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Trainings
The 2019 Summative ELPAC testing window is February 1 through May 31, 2019. To prepare for this test administration, there will be 24 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Trainings held statewide.
Attendance at Statewide Trainings
Each local educational agency (LEA) has been allocated a specific number of seats to attend the Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Trainings. This is a mandatory training for each LEA who will be administering the Summative ELPAC due to the new items in the 2019 version of the test. Representatives from all LEAs must attend one of the trainings below.
All LEA and/or county staff who intend to provide a regional training must also attend this training before conducting their own. The training will follow a "training-of-trainers" model, designed so that attendees can provide in-person training to their own LEA.
A portion of the training day will be divided into two groups: kindergarten through grade 5 in one room and grades 6 through 12 in another room. It is recommended that you plan accordingly and bring one trainer for the lower grades and one trainer for the upper grades, if applicable.

Training Overview
The 2019 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Training will provide an overview of the test administration. A majority of the training day will be spent on the administration and scoring of the Speaking domain.
Registration
Registration will open on Wednesday, August 15, 2018. In August, LEA ELPAC Coordinators will receive an e-mail containing registration information for their LEA. Due to the limited number of seats at each training, only the LEA ELPAC Coordinator will be allowed to register participants for trainings. Each LEA has been allocated a specific number of seats to attend the 2019 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Trainings.
Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis, until each training site is full. LEAs may register all of their staff for one location, or each participant for separate locations.
