  10. SB 201 – English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) • Authorizes the development of two separate English language proficiency assessments - for initial identification and annual summative test. • Identifies the annual assessment window to be administered as a four-month period after January 1 of each school year, as determined by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. (SSPI) • Requires the SSPI to report to the legislature when both new assessments are ready for their first administration.

  11. AB 899 • Requires the Superintendent, on or before January 1, 2015 to recommend modification to the ELD standards to link with the SBE-approved academic content standards for mathematics and science. • Requires the SSPI to convene a group of experts and hold a minimum of two public meetings to gather input. • Authorizes the SBE, on or before August 1, 2015, to adopt or reject the SSPI recommendations. • ELPAD must be aligned to the approved ELD Standards.

  12. CELDT Item Alignment • Goal • Primary alignment to the 2012 ELD Standards • Over 700 Items reviewed • Also reviewed: • Secondary alignment • Grade level appropriateness • Language complexity level • Alignment to foundational skills • (Part II 2012 ELD Standards)

  13. CELDT Item Alignment • Preliminary findings of 1,842 active CELDT Items analyzed: • Overall: Approximately 480 items (26 percent) were aligned to one of the 2012 ELD Standards. • Listening: 24 percent with primary alignment • Extended Listening Comprehension test • Speaking: 30 percent with primary alignment • Speech Functions and 4-Picture Narrative test (up to 5th gr) • Reading: 35 percent with primary alignment • Reading Comprehension test • Writing: 8 percent with primary alignment • Short Composition test component

  14. Important • CELDT performance should increase if begin new standards • Blueprint guidelines will determine the test specifications • Focus on arguing with evidence • Could include math as a source • Will continue with CELDT • Fall administration • 13/14, 14/15, 15/16 • Will Field Test LPAC 15/16

  15. Questions / concerns discussed: • At what point is the LPAC an assessment of diagnostic for language vs. content knowledge? • T1/T3 language requires alignment to content • Not assessing content, but are assessing language linked to content. • E.G., recognizing shapes; step by step (sequence) language to build a volcano
