English Language Development (ELD) Assessment

Students identified as English learners participate annually in Tennessee's ELPA21 assessment, which measures English language proficiency in the four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Assessment results help schools monitor students' progress toward English proficiency, guide instructional planning, determine eligibility for English learner services, and meet state and federal accountability requirements.
