Hello LPAC teams! If you are wondering how to get trained in the administration of the IOWA ITBS Assessment, you have come to the right place! A slide has been added to the  LPAC EOY Training presentation  titled "IOWA ITBS Assessment for Reclassification". There you can find the following: 1. Link to the self-paced training video. 2. Link to the presentation's slide deck. 3. Link to the form you need to submit after the completion of the self-paced training.

Hello LPAC teams! I am really excited to share the news that the Bilingual/ESL department is offering an amazing opportunity for ALL your teachers to obtain their ESL certification, and receive not just the reimbursement for the cost of the exam ($119) but also, a stipend of an extra $100 for completing an online test preparation course.   For those campuses who are already under an ESL waiver and/or BE exception, this is a great opportunity to promote the certification of your teachers now, so that you are covered for this incoming 2022-2023 school year. And for those campuses who are not currently under a waiver or exception, this is also a great opportunity to avoid it in 2022-2023.   Everybody wins! Teachers get certified with a reimbursement plus a stipend, and campuses start the next school year without the need to apply for waivers!  Please send this communication to ALL your teachers that don’t currently have their ESL certification, and talk to them personally to invite

Hello LPAC teams! The EOY templates for  course placement  recommendation of 5th grade emergent bilingual students going into 6th, as well as 8th graders going into 9th, are available now.
