ELPA21
The English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century (ELPA21) is a group of states committed to supporting educators, member states, and the public as they adopt and implement the English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards and college- and career-ready standards. ELPA21’s assessment system will provide information to inform instruction so that all English Language Learners (ELLs) leave high school prepared for college and career success.

Los resultados de exámenes individuales se pueden solicitar en formatos alternativos (tales como Braille, letra grande o idiomas alternativos), dirigiéndose a la escuela o distrito escolar local. Los distritos que no puedan atender las solicitudes a nivel local deben comunicarse con la Unidad de Evaluación de Estudiantes (Student Assessment Unit, en inglés) de la División de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de Arkansas (Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, en inglés) al 501-682-4558.
Para asegurar la protección de los datos de los estudiantes, todos los informes en formatos alternativos se proporcionarán solamente a la escuela o distrito local, para que éstos los distribuyan a los padres o tutores.
