The English Language Proficiency Standard (ELPS) were approved by the State Board of Education in the 2007-2008 school year. The ELPS outline the instruction school districts must provide to ELLs in order for them to have full opportunity to learn English and succeed academically. The ELPS are to be implemented as an integral part of the instruction in each foundation and enrichment subject of the TEKS. The intent of the ELPS is to support and accelerate the development of English language for our ELLs.
