Grier, Ed. D.  \nSuperintendent of Schools  \nSUBJECT: 2015 Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) Results  \nCONTACT: Carla Stevens, 713-556-6700  \nAttached is a copy of Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) Report for the 2014–2015 school year. All English Language Learner (ELL) students enrolled in the Houston Independent School District in grades K–12 are assessed with the TELPAS in the spring of each year, in accordance with federal and state requirements. The report includes grade level and overall results at the district level, as well as campus-level summary tables.  \nA total of 56,084 ELL students participated in TELPAS testing in 2014–2015. Districtwide, ELL student proficiency on the TELPAS was slightly lower than in the previous year, and was lower than that of the state overall. The percentage of ELL students showing improvement in English language proficiency also decreased slightly compared to 2014, but district performance overall was equal to that of the state.  \nAdministrative Response to 2014-2015 TELPAS Results  \nAll English Language Learners are expected to grow at least one level in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing as measured through TELPAS. In past years, TELPAS data has been used to classify campuses into tiers in order to identify those that need extra support and guidance in developing action plans and activities to improve the percentage of ELLs making one level of progress and of those rated as Advanced High in English proficiency. Starting with the 2015-2016 school year, all campuses will receive customized support at least three times a year to ensure the progress monitoring of all enrolled students. Campuses will be assigned a consistent support system to ensure guidance continuity throughout the year.  \nCollaboration with the Elementary and Secondary Curriculum Departments will result in differentiated documents that will provide instructional guidance on supporting ELLs linguistically across content areas. Additionally, structured supports and processes will be put in place at various secondary schools to accelerate the academic and language learning of newcomer and immigrant students.  \nTeachers and administrators of ELLs will receive specialized training in using data to monitor academic and linguistic progress and make programming placements. These sessions will be offered throughout the year.  \nThe expansion of the Dual Language programming, the instructional model that has resulted in higher ELL performance in Spanish and English literacy and proficiency, will continue in future years. Existing schools will continue to be supported through staff development, instructional materials, and curriculum and programming alignment.  \nShould you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me or Carla Stevens in the Department of Research and Accountability, at 713-556-6700.  \nTBG  \ncc: Superintendent’s Direct Reports School Support Officers  \nChief School Officers Principals  \nGrace Guerrero  \nH o u s t o n I n d e p e n d e n t S c h o o l D i s t r i c t  \nRESEARCH  \nEducational Program Report  \nTexas English Language Proficiency Assessment System  \nTELPAS Report  \n2014 – 2015  \n2015 Board of Education  \nHouston Independent School District  \nHattie Mae White Educational Support Center  \n4400 West 18th StreetHouston, Texas 77092-8501  \n[www.HoustonISD.org](www.HoustonISD.org)  \nIt is the policy of the Houston Independent School District not to discriminate on the basis of age, color, handicap or disability, ancestry, national origin, marital status, race, religion, sex, veteran status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression in its educational or employment programs and activities.  \nRhonda Skillern-Jones  \nPresident  \nManuel Rodriguez, Jr.  \nFirst Vice President  \nWanda Adams  \nSecond Vice President  \nPa","cbCailJubFpbMbX4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJubFpbMbX4","pdf",759197,22,"English","# Introduction\n## TELPAS purpose and NCLB requirement\n## Assessment domains and composite scoring\n## Proficiency continuum and levels\n## District expectations and administrative response\n## Planned supports and training","[{\"question\":\"What is TELPAS used to measure for English Language Learners?\",\"answer\":\"TELPAS provides a comprehensive measure of English language proficiency.
