Phase II of Initial ELPAC State Testing:  Oct. 30, 2023 - June 4, 2024

• Because students enroll throughout the year, we continuously need to test those who are assigned Initial ELPAC

• During the above window, schools will continue to test new students in Initial ELPAC group domains. (3-12 Listening, Reading, Writing)

• Non-newcomer sites will assign a Phase II Initial ELPAC Designee who will certify to administer the 1:1 domains in addition to completing the group testing. Training for both group and 1:1 are required for this role. There is a stipend available for the 1:1 certification depending on the training grade span needed.

  • FORM: Initial ELPAC Phase II Designee Orientation Registration Form - Use this form for the Designee to register for the Orientation where they will learn how to become certified for 1:1 testing. 

• Newcomer schools will receive support from RPA/AAO with 1:1 domain administration.

ELPAC assessments may only be administered by staff who:

• Are employees of SFUSD and are proficient in English
