The ELLP Pathway Years 1–8 and ELLP Pathway Student Agency Record are optional resources to support the ELLP matrices.
They are closely aligned to the ELLP matrices, with additional detail from ELLP booklets and other Ministry of Education resources. They assist primary and intermediate teachers to plan day-to-day support for English language learners. The student pathway assists with fostering learner agency.
Important: all ESOL funding applications require the ongoing completion of the
ELLP record of progress.
