Overview
The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) will be using the LAS Links Assessment for the ELP Assessments for eligible students in Grades K-12 for the 2025-26 test administration. The CSDE believes that high-quality, comprehensive, and effective English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual education programs are essential to acquire English language proficiency and academic proficiency for students who are English learners/multilingual learners (ELs/MLs). The CSDE believes that research-based instructional practices that support ELs/MLs in general education classrooms are essential while they are acquiring English and well after they have exited the intensive programs.
