Form 1 contains all operational items and no field test items. The estimated minutes in Table 1 through Table 7 are provided as a basis for planning.

For each domain of the test, allow an additional five to ten minutes to log on to the test examiner device, the student testing device, and to read directions. Actual testing times may be shorter if the student exits the test at a stopping marker. Actual testing times may be longer than estimated testing times since the Summative ELPAC is an untimed test.

Individual administration is defined as a one-on-one administration between a single student and a test examiner. Group administration is defined as a group of students, up to 20, being administered the assessment by one test examiner.

Navigate back to the Summative ELPAC Estimated Testing Time web page to view additional Form Testing Times.

This 2021-22 Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California Test Administration Manual provides information and instructions about test preparation and in-person and remote administration of the computer-based Summative ELPAC, as well as the paper-based test for the Writing domain for students in kindergarten through grade two. The intended users of this manual are staff who play a role in the administration of the Summative ELPAC, including LEA ELPAC coordinators, site ELPAC coordinators, ELPAC test examiners, and proctors.

Additional information and instructions about the paper-pencil Summative ELPAC have been added to this manual. Use these sections to become familiar with the general rules for paper-pencil testing, how to prepare for the assessment, and what students will experience when participating in the assessment. Test examiners should become familiar with this section well in advance of the test administration date to make sure that materials for distribution to students are prepared and made available prior to the administration of the test.

For specific questions not addressed in this manual, test examiners can contact their site ELPAC coordinator; site ELPAC coordinators can contact their LEA ELPAC coordinator; and LEA ELPAC coordinators can contact their LEA Success Agent. When administering the Summative ELPAC in person, follow the instructions and criteria laid out in this manual.

The CDE ELPSA office is available for assistance with questions related to the ELPAC program policy requirements. For ELPAC policy questions, the LEA ELPAC coordinator should contact the ELPSA office by email at elpac@cde.ca.gov.

These performance level descriptors (PLDs), which apply across grades and grade spans, provide a general range of student performance on the Initial English Language Proficiency Assessments of California (ELPAC).

Students at this level have well developed oral (listening and speaking) and written (reading and writing) skills. They can use English to learn and communicate in meaningful ways that are appropriate to different tasks, purposes, and audiences in a variety of social and academic contexts. They may need occasional linguistic support to engage in familiar social and academic contexts; they may need light support to communicate on less familiar tasks and topics. This test performance level corresponds to the upper range of the "Bridging" proficiency level as described in the 2012 California English Language Development Standards, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (2012 English Language Development Standards).

Students at this level have somewhat developed to moderately developed oral (listening and speaking) and written (reading and writing) skills. This level captures a broad range of English learners, from those who can use English only to meet immediate communication needs to those who can, at times, use English to learn and communicate in meaningful ways in a range of topics and content areas. They may need some degree of linguistic support to engage in familiar social and academic contexts (depending on the student, the level of support needed may be moderate, light, or minimal); they may need substantial-to-moderate support to communicate on less familiar tasks and topics. This test performance level corresponds to the entire "Expanding" proficiency level and to the lower range of the "Bridging" proficiency level as described in the 2012 English Language Development Standards.

Students at this level have minimally developed oral (listening and speaking) and written (reading and writing) English skills. They tend to rely on learned words and phrases to communicate meaning at a basic level. They need substantial-to-moderate linguistic support to communicate in familiar social and academic contexts; they need substantial linguistic support to communicate on less familiar tasks and topics. This test performance level corresponds to the "Emerging" proficiency level as described in the 2012 English Language Development Standards.

The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) website serves as the portal for resources that a local educational agency (LEA) will need to administer the ELPAC and the Alternate ELPAC.

News and Tips for the ELPAC Administration

1. CAST and ELPAC Interim Assessments Now Available to Administer

The CAST and ELPAC Interim Assessments are now available to administer in the test delivery system. Visit the CAASPP Interim Assessment Administration Resources web page, the ELPAC Interim Assessment Administration Resources web page, and the Interim Assessment User Guide for more information.
