We’ll walk you through the key updates approved by the State Board of Education, including:

• A new structure by grade bands: K–3 and 4–12
• An expanded set of five proficiency levels
• Revised Proficiency Level Descriptors (PLDs) now divided into five clear sections
• The relocation of the ELPS to 19 TAC, Chapter 120

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s changing, what stays the same until implementation, and what steps your district or school can take to transition smoothly. Whether you're an ESL educator, administrator, or curriculum leader, this session will help you confidently navigate the road to 2026.
