LOS ANGELES LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Week 2.1: January 23, 2023- January 27, 2023
INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR THE MONTH
ELPAC STRATEGIES
As we get ready to start the ELPAC assessments, we need to ensure that students have the strategies to take on tests that will evaluate their Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening skills. Teachers may provide additional ELPAC practice during:
- morning work
- Designated ELD block
- homework
- ELA block
*In Middle School, Science and Social Studies teachers also play an important role in supporting students with these skills. This is where collaboration becomes key between teachers.
It is recommended that you introduce the testing format as a whole group as soon as possible. It is acceptable for all students to participate in these lessons/ activities since they involve general instructional practices (i.e. using complete ideas, elaborating ideas, speaking in complete sentences, summarizing)
Teachers may access practice tests at: https://www.elpac.org/resources/online-practice-and-training-test/
Directions: click on Resources, then Practice and Training Tests.
