  2. TELPAS is the Texas K12 ELL assessment of English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. • TELPAS measures how well ELLs understand and use English for everyday use and academic purposes. • TELPAS reports four English language proficiency levels: Beginning Intermediate Advanced Advanced High

  3. AMAO 1Progress in Learning English • AMAO 1 measures the percent of LEP students who make at least one proficiency level of progress a year based on their TELPAS composite proficiency rating.

  4. AMAO 2Attainment of English Language Proficiency • Measures the percent of LEP students who attain an advanced high TELPAS composite proficiency rating. • Method 1 evaluates the percent of current LEP students who reach Advanced High on TELPAS. This method does not consider how long a students have been in U.S. schools. • Method 2 takes time in U. S. variables into account, which addresses the effect that varying influxes of immigrants may have within and across districts.

  5. AMAO 3Meeting AYP in Reading and Mathematics • AMAO 3 measures the percent of LEP students who are successful on the reading and mathematics tests used in AYP determinations. AMAO 3 is met when districts meet AYP for their LEP student group. • While TELPAS and LAT results are used in AYP determinations for recent immigrants who qualify for a LEP exemption, TAKS in English or Spanish* is the required assessment for nonexempt LEP students.
