No longer use locally determined alternate ELP assessments for summative purposes.Have IEP teams determine which ELP test (Alternate ELPAC or Summative ELPAC) is most appropriate for their ELs with the most significant cognitive disabilities.Have individualized education program (IEP) teams plan for ELs with the most significant cognitive disabilities to take the Alternate ELPAC statewide field test in 2021–22.Use locally determined alternate ELP assessments for initial and summative purposes.The following table provides a high-level development timeline for the Alternate ELPAC: The Alternate ELPAC will replace all locally determined alternate assessments and provide a consistent, standardized measurement of ELP across the state for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The Alternate ELPAC will be aligned to the English Language Development Connectors (DOCX) and are linked to the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. The purpose of the Alternate ELPAC is twofold: the Initial Alternate ELPAC will provide information to determine a student’s initial classification as an English learner (EL) or as initial fluent English proficient (IFEP) and the Summative Alternate ELPAC will provide information on student annual progress toward ELP and support decisions for students to be redesignated fluent English proficient (RFEP).
