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.

School Year 2019-2020: Introduction, Rollout, and Training

  • LEAs are to continue to utilize the current ELPS (2010) for School Year 2019-2020.
  • During School Year 2019-2020, ADE will work with LEAs to provide training on the Revised ELPS for use in School Year 2020-2021.
  • AZELLA will continue to be based on the 2010 ELPS.

School Year 2020-2021: Transition and Continued Training

  • LEAs are expected to start including the Revised ELPS in lesson plans during School Year 2020-2021.
  • AZELLA will continue to be based on the 2010 ELPS.

School Year 2021-2022: Implementation

  • LEAs will fully implement the Revised ELPS.
  • AZELLA will continue to be based on the 2010 ELPS. (rev. 3.8.21)
