Why new standards?
• The current Connecticut English Language Learner Framework (2005) is based on 1999 TESOL standards, which have since been updated in 2006.
• There is a demand for English Learners to participate more fully in the curriculum and develop language and content at the same time to align with Office of Civil Rights and Department of Justice guidelines.
• The Federal government is asking for updated English Language Proficiency Standards
