DELVING IN TO
ELP STANDARDS
Cecely Clinkscales and Marline Vernon
Teachers will be able to implement ELP Standards with Content Standards when creating assessments and backwards planning lessons.
ELP Standards
“In many schools, language development has been the responsibility of ESL/ELD teachers, while content development has been handled by subject area teachers. Now that students are held to rigorous CCR standards that span multiple subjects, teachers must work more closely together to support ELLs. Content area teachers need the tools to fuel the academic performance of English language learners, while ESL/ELD teachers must have command of the language used in subject areas so that ELLs can succeed. The ELP Standards offer a common language for ESL/ELD teachers and content teachers to best support ELLs.”

ELP Standards
“The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers strongly believe that all students should be held to the same high expectations outlined in the Common Core State Standards. This includes students who are English language learners (ELLs). However, these students may require additional time, appropriate instructional support, and aligned assessments as they acquire both English language proficiency and content area knowledge.”
