Why IPT Testing?
State law requires testing for oral language proficiency for NEW students entering Grades PK-12 whose home language is NOT English.
The scores from this test are used by LPAC as part of the criteria to identify students as LEP.
Oral Language Proficiency Tests (OLPT) must be from the state-approved list.
Beginning in Spring 2007, scores from this test are also used by LPAC to exit students and reclassify them as NON-LEP.
Therefore, students will take the IPT twice—once upon initial entry and once more upon exiting.
Why IPT Testing?
ELEMENTARY GRADES (ENTRY):– Students whose home language is Spanish must take
the English IPT and the Spanish IPT – Students whose home language is anything other
than English, but not Spanish, must take the English IPT only.
SECONDARY GRADES (ENTRY):– Students whose home language is anything other
than English must take the English IPT only.IPT is easy to administer at each individual campus.IPT Test must be administered by a TRAINED professional or paraprofessional EMPLOYED by HISD.
Who?
Who will be tested for ENTRY?New students– English—all PK-12 if Home Language Survey
indicates a language other than English– Spanish—all PK-5/6 (elem.) if Home Language
Survey indicates SpanishRemember: Students in PK-5/6 (elem.) whose HLS is Spanish MUST be tested in BOTH English & Spanish.Note: Any new student from out of state whose Home Language Survey indicates a language other than English must be tested in HISD even if she/he has test results from the previous state. Student has to qualify as LEP using Texas state-approved assessments.
Who?
Who will NOT be tested for ENTRY?– Students previously tested with IPT or another
Texas state-approved oral test other than IPT – A transfer student (from within HISD or another
Texas district) who has been previously tested and identified
Who will be tested for EXIT?– LEP students who have met all other exit criteria
(see HISD Exit Chart)– Only with English IPT
Who Will Be Administering the IPT (OLPT)?
Trained professionals Trained paraprofessionalsTesters should be proficient in the language of the test.
No parent volunteers may test—testers must be HISD employees.Testers may NOT train additional campus testers.ALL testers MUST receive the official training and a certificate of being trained from Multilingual before testing any students.

greater).

IPT Administration
Overall tips and rules:– Read the corresponding Online
Administration Manual before administering the IPT
– Do at least one practice test; these are found under the Help & Training tab of the OnlineIPT
– Use ONLY the language of the test– Do not prompt or give clues– Do not skip Sample Items
IPT Administration
Under Examiner Says:– Circled test items = IPT Test Pictures– Directions to examiner are in
italics/parentheses– Repeat question ONCE with exceptions– “Close” answers get another chance– Use secondary prompts as applicable
IPT Administration
Under Student Responds:– Count only answers that appear on screen– Sometimes there are several possiblities– One-word responses are often okay– Underlined words MUST be included in the
student’s response– Grammatically correct contractions– No penalty for mispronunciation

Documentation of IPT Data
Why do we document? Federal and State AccountabilityWhere do we document? In LEP folder, LPAC minutes, and Chancery Who documents? Principal at each campus designates a person,
could be a LEP clerk, LPAC chairperson, administrator, etc.Reminder: You must give your LPAC chairperson a copy of Oath of Test Security and Confidential Integrity form that you have signed and initialed. It must be placed in the LPAC binder as it is an auditable record.
