• Initial ELPAC has TWO Phases: 
  • Site leaders (non newcomer) must  assign a Phase II Designee to train for and administer the 1:1 speaking sections.
• New this year: During Phase II, K-2 students will be tested by District Examiners (DICE). Strategic coordination and scheduling from the TC will help in this process.

KNOW YOUR SITE'S TEST COORDINATOR: SFUSD uses a Training of Trainers model for State Testing. Each site assigns a test coordinator and that person (or persons) is responsible for attending annual trainings and coordinating all testing for the site. They then provide annual training as needed for any staff for applicable state tests. 

EACH STATE TEST HAS SPECIFIC ANNUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAINING BEFORE YOU MAY TEST STUDENTS. PLEASE REVIEW THOSE HERE.
