  1. English Language Proficiency Standards Language Acquisition is not an event; it is a process. www.wida.us

  2. Components for Success

  3. A standards-based system: • Measures its success based on student learning rather than compliance with rules and regulations. • Aligns policies, initiatives, curriculum, instruction, and assessments with clearly defined academic standards. • Consistently communicates and uses standards to focus on ways to ensure success for all students. • Uses assessment to inform instruction

  4. Why SBI benefits ELLs By focusing on detailed descriptions of expected understanding or learning targets SBI • engages teachers in raising the expectations for all students • promotes the use of multiple assessment strategies which allow for students to reach proficient levels at different times and in a variety of ways • requires teachers to differentiate instruction to meet readiness levels, learning profiles, and interests of students. Laturnau, Joseph, Standards-Based Instruction for English Language Learners

  5. Content Standards Content Standards define what students should know and be able to do. Benchmarks identify the expected understandings and skills for a content standard at different grade levels. Performance indicators describe how well students need to achieve in order to meet content standards.

  6. English Language Proficiency Standards The WIDA ELP standards center on the language needed and used by ELLs to succeed in school. Performance indicators describe ELL’s understanding and use of English at each level of language proficiency.

  7. AL COS 2nd Grade Science Identify basic components of our solar system, including the sun, planets, and Earth's moon.

  8. ELP Standard 4: the Language of Science, Formative Framework Grade Cluster: 1 – 2 Domain: Speaking Topic: Earth and sky

  9. National Standards for Reading Discern the most important ideas, events, or information, and summarize them accurately and concisely. Determine when, where, and why events unfold in the text, and explain how they relate to one another.

WIDA ELP Standards • English language learners communicate for Social and Instructional purposes within the school setting • English language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Language Arts. • English language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Mathematics. • English language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Science • English language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Social Studies. .

  12. Organization of WIDA ELP Standards Grade Level Clusters • Pre- K/ K • 1 – 2 • 3 – 5 • 6 – 8 • 9 - 12 Frameworks • Formative: geared toward guiding student learning and teacher instruction. • Summative: geared toward describing the outcomes of learning.
