Timeline for English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) Implementation

UPDATE: During the 2021-2022 SY, we are implementing the 2019 ELPS 100%. Although the current AZELLA tests are aligned to the 2010 ELPS, the implementation timeline for the new ELPS has not been changed as the 2019 Standards do not undermine a student’s performance on the current AZELLA (aligned to the 2010 ELPS). The postponement of the SAFT (State AZELLA Field Test) will impact the roll out of the new AZELLA aligned to the 2019 English Language Proficiency Standards.
