SLP Exam Information
Teacher candidates applying for Spanish---designated assignments with DPS are required to successfully complete a Spanish language proficiency (SLP) exam. The District has partnered with Berlitz Testing, Inc. to facilitate and proctor this exam. The District will continue to administer the SLP exam for clerical (DAEOP), paraprofessional and special service provider positions (e.g. speech language pathologists, nurses, social workers, audiologists and psychologists). See instructions below if you are a candidate for a Spanish---speaking clerical, paraprofessional, or special service provider role.
Registering for the SLP Exam Berlitz has locations worldwide to administer the DPS SLP exam. This exam is a prerequisite for all bilingual (Spanish/English) teacher and special service provider candidates. DPS requires all teacher candidates to successfully complete the DPS SLP exam before being considered for positions designated ELA---S. These positions can be identified on the online posting system as ELA---S (English Language Acquisition–Spanish).
About the Exam The (SLP) exam for teachers consists of three components: oral, reading comprehension and writing. Applicants new to DPS or internal teachers who change assignments into ELA---S positions must pass all portions of the SLP Exam to be considered by the Department of Human Resources as Spanish---qualified applicants. However, the following arrangement is allowed:
“… for all ELA-S designated teachers, as a condition of employment and as an express condition on formation of this Contract, the teacher shall at his/her sole expense complete and receive a passing grade on the oral and reading portions of the District-approved Spanish language proficiency examination. Employment is further conditioned on the teacher’s receipt of a passing grade on the writing portion of that examination prior to the deadline established by the District.”
If an applicant fails the written and/or reading portions of the exam, he or she is allowed to retake that portion of the test only two more times within one calendar year.
Both the initial exam and any portion that must be retaken can be scheduled at your convenience via the Berlitz Testing Coordinator and Account Management Team dedicated to DPS. To schedule an SLP exam, submit your completed application in one of the following ways.
• Email: [email protected]. Fax 303---333---1035. Mail Berlitz Languages, Inc., Attn: DPS AccountManager, 55 Madison Street, Suite 175, Denver, CO 80206 USA.
• If viewing online, click here to register for the SLP. Otherwise, go to http://www.berlitz.us/dps/.• See http://ela.dpsk12.org/professional---development/spanish---language---proficiency---slp---exam/
for more details about the SLP exam, qualifications, and possible reimbursement of cost.
