These students have one or more disabilities that significantly limit their intellectual functioning, as shown by their ability to plan, comprehend, and reason, and their adaptive behavior, as shown by their ability to apply social and practical skills.  \nAWARENESS  \nStudents who receive this rating may be aware of English sounds or print; however, they have little or no functional ability to participate in communication activities in English.  \nIMITATION  \nStudents who receive this rating match, imitate, or approximate some English in their environment; however, they are not able to independently understand or produce English. They participate in routine communication activities in a familiar environment when the activities are significantly linguistically accommodated.  \nEARLY INDEPENDENCE  \nStudents who receive this rating understand short, simple messages and produce messages of one or two high-need, high-frequency words (e.g., book, cafeteria, teacher) . They are starting to participate in linguistically accommodated communication activities in English in familiar environments.  \nDEVELOPING INDEPENDENCE  \nStudents who receive this rating understand longer messages of multiple sentences in English and produce simple, descriptive, original messages by combining two or more words (e.g., new red bike, big fast truck) . They participate meaningfully in linguistically accommodated communication activities in English in familiar environments.  \nBASIC FLUENCY  \nStudents who receive this rating understand and produce more detailed, complex, and elaborate messages with multiple sentences in English. These students participate independently in communication activities in English in familiar environments.  \nTexas Education Agency  \nStudent Assessment Division  \nOctober 2020","cbCairaZptLMt3P2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairaZptLMt3P2","pdf",241569,"English","# Awareness\n# Imitation\n# Early Independence\n# Developing Independence\n# Basic Fluency","[{\"question\":\"Who is TELPAS Alternate designed for?\",\"answer\":\"TELPAS Alternate is for English learners with significant cognitive disabilities who are acquiring English in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with disabilities that limit intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the Awareness level indicate?\",\"answer\":\"Students at the Awareness level may recognize English sounds or print, but have little or no functional ability to participate in English communication activities.\"},{\"question\":\"What distinguishes Basic Fluency from the earlier levels?\",\"answer\":\"Basic Fluency involves understanding and producing more detailed, complex, and elaborate messages with multiple sentences, along with independent participation in English communication activities in familiar environments.\"}]","Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) Alternate Proficiency Level Labels and Definitions | PDF",1790980284]
