TEST ADMINISTRATION

ELPA

Domain Exemptions and Carried Domains in TIDE in 2024-25

Beginning in 2024-25, the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) will check new domain exemptions on the English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) Summative against domains that are being carried due to Honoring Student Proficiency on the HS ELPA Summative. If a new exemption would eliminate a student’s last testable domain, TIDE will not allow the record to be saved. If there is a genuine need to exempt a student’s last testable domain, please contact ODE.

Please contact Ben Wolcott, ELPA specialist, with questions or concerns.

Ninth Grade On-Track Review Window Closes September 6, 2024

A recording of this training, and other helpful resources, are available on the Ninth Grade On-Track Collection page.
