Proficiency is the ability to use the English language to communicate ideas, knowledge, and information. This assessment is based on the Alternate English Language Proficiency Standards, which are designed to address the language abilities that students need tobe successful in school and beyond.  \nWhat are the Alternate ELP Standards?  \nThe 10 Alternate ELP Standards define what English language skills students should have at specific grade levels. They emphasize the shift away from approaching language and content separately and focus on measuring the language skills your child needs to fully access the general education curriculum. These standards will be used by both English language development specialists and content-area teachers to help prepare your child for success in English language arts, mathematics, and science.  \nWhen will my child take the Alt ELPA?  \nThe Alt ELPA is given each year in February and March. Contact your state’s representative (see below) for more specific information.  \nContact Us for More Information  \nEmail: [info@altelpa.org](info@altelpa.org)  \nWebsite: [altelpa.org](altelpa.org)  \nYour State CAAELP Rep  \nName: Mason Rivers  \nTitle: Special Education Assessment Specialist  \nPhone: 971.208.0434  \n[Email](Email: mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov)[:](Email: mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov)[ ](Email: mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov)[mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov](Email: mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov)[ ](Email: mason.rivers@ode.oregon.gov)[Website](Website:)[:](Website:)  \n[https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator](https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator)resources/assessment/Pages/EnglishLanguage-Proficiency.aspx  \nFamily Guide  \n􀂤 2022 Iowa Department of Education  \nWho takes the Alt ELPA?  \nStudents who have been identified as English learners (ELs)* and who experience a significant cognitive disability will be required to take Alt ELPA. The Alt ELPA measures the progress your child is making in achieving English proficiency.  \n*Using the federal definition of “English learner”  \nHow is the Alt ELPA used to help my child?  \nThe main purpose of the Alt ELPA is to qualify students for appropriate language services and help guide schools to best support student needs. While the Alt ELPA does not count toward high school graduation, it does determine whether your student receives the extra help he or she may need to fully participate and be successful in school.  \nHow can I help my child get ready?  \nYou are an important partner in your child’s education. Here are some things you can do to help prepare your child for the Alt ELPA:  \n􀀹 Visit [https://osasportal.org/students.html](https://osasportal.org/students.html)[ ](https://osasportal.org/students.html)to access the Alt ELPA practice tests, which are intended to help your child become familiar with the test questions.  \n􀀹 Inform your child that there will be practice tests available so they can become familiar with the testing platform and setup  \n􀀹 Explain to your child that these tests are tools to help them learn, and they should not be anxious or scared.  \nHow will I find out my child’s Alt ELPA score?  \nYour school will provide you with a report of your child’s performance on the Alt ELPA.  \nDuring this first year, the report for testing in spring 2023 will be available in late 2023.  \nHow is the Alt ELPA different from previous assessments?  \nThe Alt ELPA is a computer-based test that is designed specifically for English learners with the most significant cognitive disabilities. It includes innovative questions that reflect classroom and real-world scenarios. See below for an example of oneof the Alt ELPA items.  \nSAMPLE ITEM  \nGrade 2-3: Listening: Selected Response  \nListen to the sentence. Then answer the question.  \nI like to go outside and feel the warm sun on my face.
