English Language Proficiency Standards, the Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards

English Language Proficiency Standards, the Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards | Bilingually Enriched Learners | Scoop.it

Many states have begun the process of developing or adapting English Language Proficiency(ELP) standards to align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the forthcoming NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS).

 

This need stems not only from a desire to ensure that all students receive the rigorous and systematic education they need to graduate from high school ascollege and career ready, but also because states must have ELP standards aligned to college and career readiness standards as a requirement to receive an Elementary and Secondary Education Act(ESEA) waiver.

 

The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has coordinated the development of a framework to assist states with this work. The goal of the English Language Proficiency Development (ELPD) Framework, hereafter referred to as the "Framework," is to provide guidance to states on how to use the expectations of the CCSS and NGSS as tools for the creation and evaluation of ELP standards.

UDL Accommodations: ELL Student

UDL Accommodations: ELL Student | Bilingually Enriched Learners | Scoop.it

Michelle Meyer presents some excellent UDL strategies that can support the ELL Student. She describes a learner who has limited English proficiency and offers options to support that learner using the 3 UDL Principles with reference to specific UDL Guidelines and Checkpoints.

 

According to The Knowledge Loom, English language learners refer to students who have a first (home, primary or native) language other than English and are in the process of learning English. The article  states there are at least three factors that can affect the amount of time it takes for a student to attain cognitive and academic sufficiency in English:

> Age

> Immersion in English

> Similarity to English
