TELPAS Assessment for Emerging Bilinguals (EBs)

TELPAS (Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System)

TELPAS assesses the English language proficiency of K-12 EBs in four language domains:  listening, speaking, reading, and writing. English language proficiency assessments in grades K-12 are federally required to evaluate the progress that EBs make in becoming proficient in the use of academic English. The assessment components for grades K-1 and 2-12 differ in the following ways:

  • Grades K-1:  TELPAS includes holistically rated listening, speaking, reading, and writing assessments based on ongoing classroom observations and student interactions.

  • Grades 2-12:  TELPAS includes online reading, writing, listening, and speaking tests.

The TELPAS Report Card

The Texas Education Agency, TEA, publishes each child's TELPAS Report Card on the TEA Texas Assessment Family Portal. The TELPAS Report Card will include information regarding your child's listening, speaking, reading, and writing proficiency in English. For more detailed information about the TELPAS Report Card, please visit TEA: Understanding Your Child's TELPAS Score Report.

All TELPAS results will be available online for the parents. No paper reports will be sent home. 

To access your child’s TELPAS Report Card online, you need to access the TEA Texas Assessment Family Portal. Coppell ISD families can now access the Texas Assessment Family Portal directly from the Coppell ISD Home Access Center (HAC). Please follow the step-by-step instructions below to access the TELPAS scores via the direct link in the Home Access Center (HAC).

As you receive your child’s TELPAS test results, please keep in mind that this is only one assessment of a student’s academic progress. Coppell ISD supports a comprehensive, Community Based Accountability System (CBAS), which relies less on state assessments and more reflects the expectations of our district community which includes our staff, our students and their families, our businesses, and our community members.
