Summative Assessment Administration and Scoring Trainings
The Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) testing window is February 1, 2018, through May 31, 2018. 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 new ELPAC. Representatives from all LEAs, including those trained for the Summative Field Test administration in the fall of 2017, must also 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.
