Test administrators must carefully read this manual prior to administering any TELPAS Alternate holistic inventories. Test administration policies and procedures must be followed as written so that all testing conditions are uniform statewide.  \nThe TELPAS Alternate Program  \nTELPAS Alternate is an alternate English language proficiency assessment designed to assess the progress that emergent bilingual (EB) students with the most significant cognitive disabilities make in learning the English language. It is a holistic inventory aligned to the Texas English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) . However, TELPAS Alternate is based on alternate proficiency level descriptors (PLDs) . TELPAS Alternate fulfills the Every Student Succeeds Act, which requires that EB students with the most significant cognitive disabilities be assessed annually until they are determined to be proficient in the English language.  \nTELPAS Alternate holistically assesses students in grades 2–12 in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students must be assessed in all four domains; there are no domain-specific exceptions. TELPAS Alternate is administered once a year, in the spring, and retest opportunities are not offered.  \n2024–2025 TELPAS Alternate Test Administrator Manual 5  \nPolicies and Procedures  \nParticipation Requirements  \nAll students enrolled in Texas public schools or open-enrollment charter schools, including virtual schools, are required by federal and state law to participate in the Texas Assessment Program. EB students enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12 who are not over the age of 21 are required to be assessed annually in English language proficiency until they are determined to be proficient by meeting the EB reclassification criteria.
