Are students tested on the Spanish version test included in the ELL Progress Indicator?
No. Test results for the Spanish versions of TAKS or TAKS (Accommodated) are not included in the ELL Progress Indicator. If a student takes the reading component of the TELPAS and also takes a Spanish version of the TAKS reading test, that student’s TELPAS results are still evaluated for this indicator even though the Spanish TAKS results are not included. TAKS-Alt tested students are treated differently. None of their results are included, even if they also take TELPAS reading.
