Prepare Students for Success on the Summative ELP Assessments

Date:  Tuesday, October 28 at 1:00pm PST/ 4:00pm EST

Summative ELP assessments are fast approaching, and the stakes are high. Results directly impact reclassification decisions — making it all the more frustrating when students can't demonstrate their true language competency because they weren't adequately prepared.

The reality is that summative assessments like ACCESS, ELPAC, AZELLA, and NYSESLAT are comprehensive and rigorous. Students need targeted preparation and practice well ahead of the test day.

Join our panel of experienced ELD specialists as they share proven strategies to elevate student performance to support progress and reclassification.

When English learners know what to expect and have practiced these skills in a realistic context, they can truly “show what they knowin the upcoming summative language proficiency assessments.

Teachers who attend will receive a certificate of attendance, which may count towards Continuing Education hours.
