Review Previous Learning: ELPS Write a “Wikipedia” type definition of the ELPS that you feel clarifies their key intent, elements, and principles – in other words, a definition that could clarify thinking in your school/classroom. Explain to a teacher new to the field what the ELPS are in terms of what s/he would be doing in the classroom – and why. The explanation should help the candidate develop a clear picture of what the ELPS look like in the classroom. Develop a metaphor, analogy, or visual symbol – even a logo – that you think represents and clarifies what’s important to understand about the ELPS key intent, elements, and principles. 1 2 3 Review Previous Learning: ELPS ©2017 Region One Education Service Center

Then find another partner and share again. Make sure you discuss similarities and areas of overlap. When instructed, move into a mixed pair or trio. In turn, share what your task was and how you responded. Return to your home tables and identify common points. Next Steps ©2017 Region One Education Service Center

©2017 Region One Education Service Center 1. Extra time ©2017 Region One Education Service Center

Extra Time NOT an automatic decision! Routine use in specified contexts: ELL must need and routinely be provided extra time when completing assignments and assessments that require substantial comprehension or use a substantial amount of English. Second language acquisition needs: An ELL’s need for extra time must be based on second language acquisition factors related to the time the ELL needs to read meaningfully in English or write a meaningful response, as applicable. Non-factors: Factors that are not ELL-specific must not be considered, such as test anxiety, use of test strategies, or other reasons not related to second language acquisition.

What about dictionaries? ©2017 Region One Education Service Center

©2017 Region One Education Service Center LPACs should also be very familiar with the updated STAAR dictionary policy (Reading/Writing/ELA) for all students, since it now includes 3rd- 5th grades: www.tea.texas.gov/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=51539 613203&libID=51539613202 Remember! The use of bilingual dictionaries can now be found under the accessibility features (Math, Science and Social Studies). Their use DOES NOT have to be documented by the LPAC: http://tea.texas.gov/student.assessment/accommodations/ Dictionaries ©2017 Region One Education Service Center
