The Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) page allows you to view and update a student's TELPAS data (regular and alternate versions), which consists of the Texas Observation Protocols (TOP) and Reading Proficiency Tests in English (RPTE). Alternatively, you can use the Import Test Scores utility to import TELPAS test data.
TELPAS is an assessment program for students in Texas public schools who are emergent bilingual. Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Texas must assess English language learners annually in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students learning the English language begin participating in TELPAS in kindergarten
and stop participating when their language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC) determines that they are proficient in the English language.
Both parts assess the progress that students are making in learning English.
