What can I reference as to the appropriate testing of LEP students with the Reading Proficiency Test in English (RPTE)?
The 2004 District and Campus Coordinator Manual and the LPAC Decision Making Manual for the Texas Assessment Program provide detailed information on testing appropriate students, administration of the RPTE test, and frequently asked questions about RPTE. These resources and additional information about the RPTE and the assessment of English language learners are available from the TEAs Student Assessment website at: www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/teachers.html by clicking on RPTE/LEP Resources.
