Summative ELPAC Training
The 2020–21 Summative ELPAC test administration window is scheduled for February 1 through May 31, 2021. For the 2020-2021 administration of Summative ELPAC, each LEA ELPAC coordinator or their designee must complete the online certification course in Moodle by December 1, 2020 for their appropriate grade span.
Available resources in the Moodle Training Site include:
- Two new certification courses (grades K–12 or grades 6–12) for LEA ELPAC coordinators or their designee
- Training videos and presentations
- Training quizzes and calibration quizzes
- PDF versions of the training binder
Each LEA can request to receive a printed copy(ies) of the Summative 2020–21 ELPAC Administration and Scoring training binder in the mail. If an LEA would like more binders than allocated, additional binders may be ordered.
Once the LEA ELPAC coordinator or their designee completes the certification, it is the responsibility of the LEA to ensure that all their examiners are trained and calibrated in Moodle.
