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.
