On this page:

• State/Province – TX > Student Assessment Pre-Code > TELPAS/TELPAS Alt

  • Registration File Elements

    • New to Texas and TELPAS Alternate work in the same manner as described for the other assessments.

    • Students taking the TELPAS Alternate version can be coded on this page, or by setting the TELPAS Alternate field in the EB/EL special program record as in prior years.

  • Attributes File Elements: Permissive Mode, Presentation (Braille) and Speech-to-Text apply only to the TELPAS Reading/Writing.

  • Additional Student Field Elements

    • Other Designated Supports and Extra Day apply to both Reading/Writing and Listening/Speaking.

    • Reading/Writing Test Mode (Paper and Holistic): Select (P) only if the default of (O) Online does not apply.

    • Listening/Speaking Test Mode (Holistic): Select (H) only if the default of (O) Online does not apply.

    • Important: The TELPAS Code field in the EB/EL special program record previously used to set the Test Mode is now obsolete and will be removed from the record in a subsequent release. TELPAS Test Mode codes for students not testing online must be set on the assessment pre-code tab.

  • Data Entry Validations

    • Test Mode (P) Paper - 504 or SPED: If the student is not a current 504 or SPED participant based on special program records, validation prevents the selection of Paper Test Mode.

    • Test Mode and Paper Test Format fields

      • If (P) Paper (STAAR and EOC) or (P) Paper and Holistic (TELPAS) is selected for Test Mode, Paper Test Format is automatically set to a default value of (RP) Regular Print. Select a different code if appropriate from the dropdown list.

      • If Test Mode is set to Select Code or (O) Online, Paper Test Format is automatically set to blank (Select Code).
