ELPAC Preparation
Performance Indicator for the ELPAC
Every year, English learners across California take the Summative ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessment of California) to assess their progress toward language proficiency. Unfortunately, many students enter the ELPAC inadequately prepared, facing unexpected challenges in both the test's format and level of difficulty. This can lead to results that don’t accurately reflect their abilities.
Introducing the Language Tree Online Performance Indicator: the first California ELD standards-aligned practice tool that mirrors the structure, rigor, and scoring of the ELPAC. It serves as an effective “dress rehearsal” for students, while also informing teachers of what language skills need to be worked on ahead of the assessment day.
Here’s how the Performance Indicator can help students approach the ELPAC better prepared and with more confidence:
Realistic Practice
Offers authentic ELPAC practice across all four assessment areas: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
Readiness Indicator
Provides a reliable measure of student’s readiness for the Summative ELPAC at that moment in time.
Actionable Insights
Equips educators with information about students’ language challenges, allowing for timely intervention before the ELPAC.
