Data Entry Requirements

ELPAC Interim Assessments

Scores for hand scored items of the ELPAC Interim Assessments for K–12 Speaking and K–2 Writing may be entered directly into the DEI during the administration of these interim assessments, or they may be entered on the Speaking or Writing Student Score Sheet—found within the Directions for Administration (DFAs) provided for these interim assessments—and then transferred into the DEI after the administration.

Table 1 indicates when the DEI is required for the standardized administration of an ELPAC Interim Assessment.
