ELPAC: 2025–26 Initial ELPAC AST Moodle is Now Open

Email Update, April 21, 2025

Dear LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

This is a reminder that the 2025–26 Initial ELPAC Moodle Training Site (Moodle) opens today, April 21, 2025.

Steps for Coordinators

  • Obtain your LEA's enrollment keys.
    • Go to: Administration and Scoring Training (AST) website
    • Enter Access Code: <LEA>: <passcode>
    • Select: [Initial Moodle Training Site] button
  • Complete the appropriate LEA certification course by Friday, August 8, 2025.,
  • For LEAs with students in kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12): Initial ELPAC LEA Certification (K–12)
  • For LEAs with students in grades six through twelve (6–12): Initial ELPAC LEA Certification (Grades 6–12)
  • Give trainers and test examiners the appropriate enrollment key(s).
  • Ensure that all test examiners have a Moodle account. (User accounts from previous administrations are still active.)
  • Request reporting access on the AST website for up to three trainers.
  • Ensure test examiners know which grade level or grade span Speaking calibration section they should complete in the test examiner course.
  • Verify that test examiners have completed calibration by obtaining the completion certificate from the test examiner or by verifying in Moodle, after requesting reporting access.

Optional Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

  • LEAs without students designated as TBD or with limited eligible students may enter into an MOU with a neighboring LEA. MOUs must be updated and sent to elpac@scoe.net annually.

Test Examiner Speaking and Writing Calibration Certificate(s)

  • Annual Calibration:
    • Both new and experienced test examiners must calibrate annually.
    • Test examiners need only calibrate the grade levels or grade spans they are administering and scoring.
    • Certificates of completion will be emailed to examiners and should be forwarded to the coordinator.

District Trainer Moodle Account and Reporting Access

  • Tracking: The LEA ELPAC coordinator, or a designee, is responsible for overseeing test examiners' calibration progress and completion.
  • Submitting Trainer Information for Reporting Access:
    • Only the LEA ELPAC coordinator may identify the LEA ELPAC trainers responsible for monitoring.
    • Log on to the AST website.
    • Select the [Initial Moodle Training Site] button
