ELPAC: 2026–27 Summative ELPAC Administration and Scoring Moodle Training Site Now Open

Email Update, October 19, 2026

Dear LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

This is a reminder that the 2026–27 Summative ELPAC Moodle Training Site (Moodle) opens today, October 19, 2026.

Steps for Coordinators

  1. Obtain your LEA’s enrollment keys.
    1. Go to the Administration and Scoring Training (AST) website.
    2. Enter the access code for [District]: [passcode]. (This is not the Moodle key.)
    3. Select the [Summative Moodle Training Site] button.
  2. Complete the appropriate LEA certification course by Monday, December 7, 2026.
    • For LEAs with K–12 students: Summative ELPAC LEA Certification (K–12)
    • For LEAs with grades six through twelve students: Summative ELPAC LEA Certification (Grades 6–12)
  3. Give trainers and test examiners the appropriate enrollment key(s).
  4. Ensure that all test examiners have a Moodle account. (User accounts from previous test administrations are still active.)
  5. Request reporting access on the AST website for up to three trainers. (Refer to the “LEA Moodle Reporting Access” section of this email for information.)
  6. Ensure test examiners know which grade-level or grade-span Speaking calibration section they should complete in the test examiner course.
  7. Verify that test examiners have completed calibration by obtaining the Speaking Certificate of Calibration from each test examiner or by verifying in Moodle after requesting reporting access.

Required—Test Examiner Speaking Calibration

  • Annual calibration is required for new and experienced test examiners. Test examiners only calibrate for the grade levels or grade spans they are administering and scoring.
  • An LEA ELPAC coordinator, or a designee, oversees the calibration progress and completion.
  • Upon successful completion of calibration, test examiners can download certificates by selecting the [Get Certificate] button and then should forward them to the coordinator.

LEA Moodle Reporting Access

To gain reporting access and view test examiner progress through the Speaking calibration, the LEA ELPAC coordinator must submit the names and email addresses of the LEA ELPAC trainers responsible for monitoring by completing the following steps:

  1. Log on to the AST website.
  2. Select the [Summative Moodle Training Site] button.
  3. Complete the “LEA Moodle Reporting Access—Summative” section.

Digital Training Binder

The training binder is available for download in the Trainer Resources course in Moodle.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Option

  • An LEA with minimal or no eligible students may enter into an MOU with a neighboring LEA that has completed the certification course and has agreed to administer the Summative ELPAC to eligible students.
  • The LEA entering into an MOU must email the signed MOU to elpac@scoe.net as confirmation the neighboring LEA has completed the required training.
  • MOUs must be submitted annually.
