The Purpose of the LPAC Framework

  • The Framework for the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC) process includes clarification of the legal requirements for the LPAC and provides sample documents and forms to facilitate the training of LPAC members.
  • Sample forms may be adapted or enhanced to meet each district or charter school’s individual needs for proper documentation.

The LPAC Framework Web-based Training is comprised of six different modules.

  • This web-based training is designed to support LEA staff who serve as a designated member of an LPAC.
  • Each module will contain information about one section of the LPAC, including an overview video with a check for understanding. After completion of each video, users will be prompted to complete a brief survey and then provided access to a certificate of completion to download and print with a total of six certificates of completion. It will be a local district decision to determine the submission of certificates.
  • It is recommended that all modules are completed in order, but the course is designed to allow users the flexibility to take the modules in any order.
