What is the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS)?

TELPAS is an English language proficiency assessment designed to assess the progress that emergent bilingual (EB) students make in learning the English language. The assessment is aligned to the Texas English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS).
 
TELPAS for kindergarten and grade 1 includes holistically rated observational assessments of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. For grades 2–12, TELPAS consists of online assessments for listening and speaking and for reading and writing.
