15. WIDA Consortium Model Performance Indicators • Provide examples (models) of assessable language skills. • Reflect the second language acquisition process. • Describe how students can use the language (purpose). • Relate to specific criteria and elements of academic language. • Provide the anchors for curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

16. The MPI: Language Function

17. WIDA Consortium Language Function • Describes how language is used; not the cognitive task • Guides the language features that students should recognize or be able to produce • May be used across several different levels, though the language features associated at specific levels may be different

18. The MPI: Content Stem

19. WIDA Consortium Content Stem • Helps ground language instruction to the content that students are learning • Relates to state or local content standards • Is grade level appropriate

20. The MPI: Support or Strategy

21. WIDA Consortium Support or Strategy • May be visual, graphic or interactive • Are based on the concept of scaffolding new language and concepts • May include use of languages other than English • Are appropriate for instruction or assessment

22. WIDA Consortium / CAL / Metritech Language Function Language Function = “Describe”

23. WIDA Consortium / CAL / Metritech Content Stem Content Stem/Example Topic = “objects of the earth or sky”

24. WIDA Consortium / CAL / Metritech Support or Strategy Support = “from observation, photographs or models”
