ELPS materials are to be provided for every high school teacher, one copy for each.  This is for every course taught in high school.  If one teacher teaches several courses, that teacher  would receive one copy of the ELPS materials.

 

 

Additionally, your question regarding which teachers are eligible for ELPS is answered in the Proclamation 2010 Questions and Answers Volume 1 document found at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/textbooks/proclamations/proc2010/Proc2010QA.pdf.  On page 31 of the document, number 115 reads as follows:

115. I understand that ELPS for grades 9-12 are supposed to cover the major content areas. Does this also include electives?

Yes. The intent is to have ELPS materials available for every high school teacher. For instance, if a high school teacher has ELLs in their classroom, the ELPS materials would be resource materials to help the teacher with that student population in the classroom regardless of the subject matter.

ESL materials for grades K-8 are in Proclamation 2011 to help teachers address the needs of second language learners in their classrooms. We wanted to be sure that teachers had support materials for ELLs in the secondary classroom. By including the new ELPS to Proclamation 2010, teachers will be able to access materials to support these students. It should also be noted that these materials are not companions to any particular set of student materials. It is a separate call for secondary teachers at grades 9-12. This was an important component of moving the ELPS into Chapter 74 so that it is not perceived as applying only to ELA.

Additionally, number 116 further explains:

116. Is the purpose of the English Language Proficiency Standards TE for Grades 9-12 to provide teacher materials that supplement the ESOL I-II call or is there a different purpose for those materials?

The purpose of the Teacher Editions for grades 9-12 is to supplement all content areas by providing general strategies to 9-12 teachers for working with English language learners. They have to include TAC 74.4 (c) 2, 3, 4, & 5.
