7. Numbered Memorandum 007-2011-12 ELL participation in ELPA
During the school year, the ODE revised a previous ELPA participation memorandum.
All eligible ELLs, who are enrolled during the official English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) testing window, are required to participate in the ELPA. Eligible students who did not participate in the ELPA, but were enrolled and present anytime during the official ELPA testing window, will be included in the district AMAO report as not making sufficient gains in proficiency as defined by AMAO1. AMAO1 measures whether students gain one or more proficiency level(s) annually. Identified ELL students who are enrolled and present anytime but do not participate in ELPA will be included in the denominator of the AMAO 1 calculation. Their gain will be included in the AMAO 1 numerator as a zero (0). The ODE defines the official ELPA testing window as the dates posted on the Oregon Statewide Testing Schedule, located in the Oregon Test Administration Manual:
This policy regarding the ELL student participation in the annual ELPA ensures that Oregon is compliant with ESEA Title III rules and guidance.
