You Know the Drill


TELPAS Writing Collections

February 1- March 23Each collection must include:

• 5 writing samples (at least 1 narrative about a past event, 2 academic; from math, science or social studies)

• Student’s name and date

Writing Collection Process

• Within your team discuss requirements of the collection– You guys are great at collaborating and have worked this all out! – Authentic writing all students will do as part of grade level

writing instruction

• Samples should be a logical outgrowth of ongoing writing instruction, writer’s workshop practice, and writing in content areas.

Tips for Good Writing Collections

• Writing opportunities should reflect adequate writing time and effort by student (can be done during writer’s workshop time)

• Tasks should allow them to show the English they know

• Tasks should also allow students to stretch, use abstract language, defend a point of view, or explain a complex process

• Page 27 TELPAS Rater Manual

Papers Not to Include

• Any sample before February 1st

• Papers with language copied from textbook or other written source

• Papers showing teacher corrections • Papers revised or edited by peers or teachers• Manual page 28

Cover Sheet (front)• Completed by teacher and stapled to each student’s writing collection.

Writing Collection Verification Checklist (back)

Initials on the Verification Collection Sheet may NOT be photocopied.

K - 1

• Pay careful attention to PLDs for accurate rating• Begin with those whose English language proficiency

levels are clearest to you.• What is the student’s ability to use English to

participate in grade level learning?• The proficiency rating you designate should

represent the level at which the student performs most consistently.

• Remember, a student does not need to have high academic achievement to have an advanced high level of English language proficiency

Grades 2-5

• Use PLDs (page 39-43)• Rate three domains: listening, speaking, and

writing • Reading will be assessed when students take

TELPAS Reading• Record the 3 domain ratings for each student to
