ELPAC: 2024–25 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Training Information
Email Update, September 11, 2024
Dear LEA ELPAC Coordinator:
The Summative ELPAC testing window is open from February 1, 2025, through May 31, 2025. To prepare for test administration, the Sacramento County Office of Education is hosting the 2024–25 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Training (AST) for LEA ELPAC coordinators and ELPAC test examiners to take via the Moodle Training Site (Moodle). The training is available from October 14, 2024, through May 31, 2025. The AST training resources in Moodle include the following:
- Two LEA certification courses (K–12 or grades 6–12)
- Training videos
- Test examiner training quizzes and calibration quizzes
- PDF versions of the training binder
- Moodle tutorial videos
Statewide LEA Certification: Statewide training is mandatory. ELPAC regulations require annual training for all LEAs, even those that do not have students who are English learners (ELs). Each LEA ELPAC coordinator or designee is required to complete the online Summative ELPAC certification course in Moodle annually to meet the training requirement for the LEA. A certificate of completion will be produced upon completion of the LEA certification course. The LEA certification course takes approximately two to three hours and must be completed by Friday, December 6, 2024. LEA ELPAC coordinators and other test examiners can fulfill their training requirements by accessing the virtual training modules within Moodle.
Alternatively, an LEA who has minimal eligible enrollments may enter into an MOU with a neighboring LEA that has completed the certification course and has agreed to administer the Summative ELPAC to the student(s) who requires Summative ELPAC testing.
Test Examiner Training and Calibration: The LEA ELPAC coordinator, or a designee, is responsible for overseeing test examiners' calibration progress and completion. For the Summative ELPAC, both new and experienced test examiners must calibrate annually and will be emailed a certificate of completion upon successful completion of calibration, which they should then email to their coordinator. The Test Examiner Training and Calibration course is divided into sections specific to grade levels and grade spans. Test examiners need only calibrate the grade levels or grade spans they are administering and scoring.
Digital Training Binders: Training binders continue to be available in digital format in the Trainer Resource course in Moodle.
Moodle Enrollment Keys: Enrollment keys are required to access the training in Moodle. More information about obtaining keys will be provided by email on October 14, 2024.
Upcoming Dates:
- October 14, 2024: Opening day for the AST website to obtain Moodle enrollment keys
- October 14, 2024: Opening day for the 2024–25 Summative ELPAC Moodle
