Students in kindergarten through grade twelve whose home language is not English are required by law to be assessed in English language proficiency (ELP). In California, the ELP assessment is the CELDT.

The CELDT allows schools to identify students who need to improve their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. Schools also give the test each year to students who are still learning English.

• For more information about the CELDT, contact Ms. Crystel Axel, Program Instructional Facilitator at (310)680-5235 or caxel@Inglewood.k12.ca.us.
