PSAT - All schools will be required to administer the PSAT/NMSQT to all 10th grade students on October 17, 2007.  Students may participate through standard administration, administration with accommodations, or through the Personalized Alternate Assessment Portfolio (PAAP).  The test will be administered on Wednesday, a regular school day, and thus avoids conflicts with extracurricular events.

ACCESS for ELLs®  - Administration Information for the Assessing Comprehension and Communications in English State to State for English Language Learners (ACCESS for ELLs®)

Pursuant to the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, schools are required to annually assess the English language proficiency of their English language learners (ELLs).

The ACCESS for ELLs® is an English language proficiency test administered annually in Maine to all English language learners (ELLs) in kindergarten through grade 12 who have been identified as being limited English proficient (federally referred to as limited English proficient (LEP) students).  The ACCESS for ELLs® meets the federal requirements of assessing ELLs’ proficiency levels in the domains of speaking, listening, comprehension, reading, and writing. The ACCESS for ELLs® provides reliable, valid, and useful information on the proficiency levels and progress of ELLs in acquiring academic English.  The ACCESS for ELLs® English language proficiency standards are aligned to Maine’s Learning Results academic content standards.
