ELP Standards: Organization & Correspondences

ELP Standards 1 construct meaning from oral presentations and literary and informational text through grade-

appropriate listening, reading, and viewing

2 participate in grade-appropriate oral and written exchanges of information, ideas, and analyses, responding to peer, audience, or reader comments and questions

3 speak and write about grade-appropriate complex literary and informational texts and topics

4 construct grade-appropriate oral and written claims and support them with reasoning and evidence

5 conduct research and evaluate and communicate findings to answer questions or solve problems

6 analyze and critique the arguments of others orally and in writing

7 adapt language choices to purpose, task, and audience when speaking and writing

8 determine the meaning of words and phrases in oral presentations and literary and informational text

9 create clear and coherent grade-appropriate speech and text

10 make accurate use of standard English to communicate in grade-appropriate speech and writing

Goals for the New ELP Standards

Create fewer, clearer standards with strategic correspondences to: • CCSS ELA & Literacy • CCSS for Mathematics • NGSS

Specify key language

functions that students must be able to carry out

in discipline-appropriate ways

Express target language uses in

clear and meaningful

progressions

Enable collaborative use by both ELD/ESL and content-area

ELP Standards 1

3 speak and write about grade-appropriate complex literary and informational texts and topics






9 create clear and coherent grade-appropriate speech and text

10 make accurate use of standard English to communicate in grade-appropriate speech and writing

Language functions

Language features or forms

Types of Modalities

Receptive: refers to the language students must understand in order to complete task

Productive: refers to language students must use to complete task

Interactive: kind of productive modality that involves two-way interactive communication and negotiation of meaning

Modalities Domains Corresponding ELP Standards

Receptive Listening and Reading

1 construct meaning from oral presentations and literary and informational text through grade-appropriate listening, reading, and viewing


Productive Speaking and Writing 3 speak and write about grade-appropriate complex literary and informational texts and topics



Interactive Listening, reading, speaking and writing




Alternative Organization of the Standards








progressions

Grade Level Bands & Proficiency Levels

•  Ten core standards applicable to every grade, but standards also detailed for different grade-level bands by English proficiency levels

•  Grade-level bands include: o  Kindergarten o  1st Grade o  2nd – 3rd Grades o  4th – 5th Grades o  6th – 8th Grades o  9th – 12th Grades

Standards & Proficiency Levels

•  Ten core standards applicable to every grade level •  More detailed grade-level bands further explicate

each core standard by describing what an ELL should be able to do with regards to each standard according to proficiency level

•  Five proficiency levels •  Proficiency level descriptors vary according to

standard and grade-level band

Proficiency Levels Fluid

•  Proficiency levels NOT fixed statuses •  ELPA21 assessments “assign” a proficiency level to

ELLs by domain (i.e. listening , speaking, etc.), but proficiency level descriptors are organized by standard

•  Students may demonstrate different levels of proficiency for different standards

•  Proficiency level descriptors useful tools for formative assessment

ELP Correspondences to Practices

•  Explicit correspondences identified for: o ELA “Practices” o Mathematics Practices o Science Practices

ü Practices matrix for K-12 available

ELP Correspondences to ELA Standards

•  ELA standards matrices available at every grade-level band

•  Useful tools when focusing on particular standard and when collaborating with colleagues

ELP Correspondences for Grade-Level Bands

•  Correspondences (i.e. practices and ELA standards) also listed for each core standard at each grade-level band

Reflection Questions

•  How could the original organization of the ELP standards (i.e. functional standards followed by form-focused) OR the alternative organization (i.e. by receptive, productive, and interactive modalities) inform curricular planning in your context?

•  Examine the standards for one grade level-band, as well as the related standards a

few grade level-bands above and below. How do the English language proficiency knowledge and skills described develop progressively?

•  How might ELD/ESL teachers use the ELP standards documents to collaborate with content-area teachers? How could the grade-level band standards, K-12 practices matrix, and grade-level band ELA standards matrices inform that collaboration?
