Key Elements for Success in STAAR
Understand the level of performance the TEKS require
Teach students the academic vocabulary
Teach both readiness and supporting content and skills
Emphasize critical/inferential thinking, problem solving, and
application rather than isolated or memorized content and skills
Reinforce connections between different content areas (e.g., math
and science, math and reading)

Key Steps to Take This Fall
TEA - September 2014 Fall ELL Assessment Update DRAFT
38
1. Conduct ELPS and TELPAS
professional development sessions
Teachers are required to implement the ELPS and content area TEKS
in instruction
District and campus administrators need working knowledge of ELPS
and TELPAS
TELPAS familiarization training is
good for future raters
good way to reinforce use of PLDs all year long
TEA - September 2014 Fall ELL Assessment Update DRAFT
39
2. Help support teacher use of TELPAS
results and ELPS PLDs to monitor and
maximize learning of English
Beginning of year:
Review ELLs’ past TELPAS results to see if making steady progress in
learning English
TELPAS confidential campus student rosters include
2 years of test scores
how long student has been in U.S. schools
TEA - September 2014 Fall ELL Assessment Update DRAFT
40
3. Help support LPAC use of TELPAS results
and ELPS PLDs to monitor and maximize
learning of English
LPAC meetings during school year:
Use previous spring’s TELPAS results and current year’s teacher input
to
gauge progress in English proficiency
review and adjust linguistic accommodations used in instruction
plan for instructional interventions, if necessary
plan for linguistic accommodations during state assessment
TEA - September 2014 Fall ELL Assessment Update DRAFT
41
Remember
When implemented effectively in instruction, linguistic
accommodations
accelerate learning of academic content and English
reduce length of time and degree to which substantial linguistic
accommodations needed
The ELPS, as measured by TELPAS, support
better learning of the TEKS, as measured by STAAR
