  1. TELPAS & ELPS Connection to Instruction

  2. Purposes of TELPAS • To assess progress of LEP-exempt students • To indicate when LEP exemptions areno longer necessary • To monitor English language proficiency of Spanish TAKS examinees • To monitor English language proficiency of students not eligible for a LEP exemption who are struggling with English acquisition
