English Language Proficiency Standards
Serve as guidepost for curriculum, instruction, and assessment of English language acquisition,
Outline the developmental stages of English language acquisition, and
Align with academic content standards to offer opportunities for continuity of learning.

AK ELP Assessment Selection
Alaska joined the Mountain West Assessment Consortium (MWAC), (10 states) in spring of 2003 to begin development of ELP Assessment
The MWAC assessment delivered to EED in December 2004
No responsive proposals received to RFP to implement MWAC ELP assessment.
EED issued an RFP July 29, 2005 for proposals to implement an existing NCLB compliant ELP assessment.

2005 ELP Standards Committee
Recruitment of Committee– 12 stakeholders around state– 9 of the 12 took part in the creation or review of the
2004 ELP Standards
Objective of Committee– Review & revise ELP Standards before alignment
study with IPT assessment
• Level of appropriateness
• Assessable for large scale
• Coherence across grade spans and domains
• Demonstrate through the GLEs; linked to science, math, language content standards.

Grade Spans Kindergarten – There is increasing accountability for
learning at early school years. By describing the English language acquisition process for young students, Alaska provides an overall comprehensive program for assessment.
Grades 1-2 – English language learners in primary grades are becoming acclimated to the demands of school and are acquiring a foundation in literacy. TESOL suggests 1-3 grades.
Grades 3-5 – By middle elementary school years, students are focused on complexity and depth within the content areas through literacy.
Grades 6-8 – This grade span was not changed; middle school brings on a unique set of challenges for English Language Learners.
Grades 9-12 – This grade span was not changed; this span outlines the language of academic success necessary by the end of secondary schooling.

Connecting Standards & Assessment to Instruction
Student level reports will indicate proficiency level in each domain of speaking, listening, reading, and writing
Class & school reports will indicate # of students at each proficiency level and in each domain
Teachers use standards at each proficiency level to determine where to focus instruction to maximize learning for each student
