• Teachers from each district stand when your district is named please.

To provide an introduction and overview of the CELP/WIDA ELD Standards framework for ELD educators new to the CELP Standards. Participants will explore the background and structure of the CELP Standards and applications to instructional practice.

Essential Question - How can I explain CELP Standards to my colleagues? Need to Know:

Big Overview of ComponentsNEW Performance DefinitionsCan Do Descriptors

GOAL:

At the end of the Four Part Series of Regional Workshops Participants will be able to: • Identify the connection of the CELP Standards to

academic language • Identify and describe the levels of Performance

Definitions in CELP• Describe the five CELP Standards and their

structure• Recognize the elements of the model performance

indicators (MPIs)• Discuss ways in which the CELP Standards can be

applied to classroom instruction• Teachers will differentiate the language of

instruction based on language proficiency information from WIDA/CELP Standards

COMPONETS Our Journey Begins

The Relationship among Performance Definitions and CAN DO Descriptors

Each of these resources build upon one another. The Performance Definitions are the most global (representing the base of the pyramid) with criteria that reflect the general characteristics of ELLs from Kindergarten through grade 12 for each proficiency level.The CAN DO Descriptors build upon the Performance Definitions by describing what students can do at each proficiency level by domain but do not distinguish among students in different grade levels. The MPIs are the building blocks of the standards’ matrices. Like the Performance Definitions, their strands are assembled according to the progressive levels of English language proficiency. They are divided into the four domains. They are the most detailed representations of the ELP standards.

5 Types of Standards Activity1. When the music starts, find your team number on a wall corner

2. Without talking, line up based on your years of teaching experience from

least to greatest.

3. Fold the line.

4. In your new group find the most creative way to get our attention.

5. Your group will be given an envelope that your assignment. Read your

assignment and come to consensus on how you present your information.

6. When you hear the music start, say goodbye and go back to your table

team.

7. Each team member will share their assignment.

Debrief with your table mates:

What level of language complexity did

you use?

How did person number 2 task

different from person number 1 etc…

Debrief:

• Presenters - Not worried about grammar, syntax, etc. relaxed speaking • Person 1 - Still conversational like but at an elevated

level of concern over syntax, sentence structure, flow, etc. • Person 2 - Use of visuals, cooperative learning,

recall, increase in level of vocab used • Person 3 - Another level of academic language used • Person 4 - Background knowledge, inferences

CELP Standards• Standard 1- Social and Instructional Language: English Learners communicate

for SOCIAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL purposes within the school setting.

• Standard 2 – Language of LA: English Learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of LANGUAGE ARTS.

• Standard 3 – Language of MA: English Learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of MATHEMATICS.

• Standard 4 – Language of SC: English Learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of SCIENCE.

• Standard 5 – Language of SS: English Learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of SOCIAL STUDIES.

Five Grade-Level Clusters

1-2 3-5 6-8 9-12PreK-K

The clustering of grade levels reflects the fact that language proficiency increases over a time period that does not necessarily correspond with grade level.

COMPARISON CHART OF PROFICIENCY LEVELS

The Performance Definitions define the expectations of students at each proficiency level.

The Performance Definitions are a key component of the standards documents, and the use of the standards and corresponding MPIs must be in conjunction with the Performance Definitions.

Levels of English Language Proficiency and Performance Definitions

Criteria for Performance Definitions

Linguistic Complexity: The amount and quality of speech or writing for given situation

Forms and Conventions: The types and variety of grammatical structures, conventions, mechanics and fluency OR language control—the comprehensibility of the communication based on the amount and types of errors.

Vocabulary Usage: The specificity of words or phrases for a given context

PERFORMANCE DEFINITION ACTIVITY 1DIRECTIONS:1) Take the 18 colored strips out of the envelope. There are 6 strips of each

color 2) As a table group, analyze each strip and decide which performance

level it falls under. 3) Each Performance level will have one of each color for a total of 3

different color strips. 4) Use the chart and tape to complete the sorting activity5) Role Assignments:

Table partner 1 - “clarifier” - this person will be able to look at the completed chart posted and can only confirm if the placement is correct. Table partner 2 - Identifies and sorts the “Linguistic Complexity” stripsTable partner 3 - Identifies and sorts the “Conventions” stripsTable partner 4 - Identifies and sorts the “Vocabulary Usage: ”strips

Performance Definitions Activity #2

Using your performance definition chart, watch the following video and evaluate the language level of the person you are watching. Write the number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) on a sticky note with that persons name.

Time for a Break!Make sure you are back in time for the drawing!!

The Language DomainsEach of the five English language proficiency standards encompasses four language domains that define how ELLs process and use language:• Listening- process, understand, interpret, and evaluate spoken language in a variety of situations• Speaking- engage in oral communication in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes and audiences• Reading- process, understand, interpret, and evaluate written language, symbols and text with understanding and fluency• Writing- engage in written communication in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes and audiences

The Continuum of Second Language AcquisitionThe second language acquisition process involves

the gradual scaffolding.

• Concrete ideas and concepts • Explicit meaning • Familiar situations • Informal registers • General vocabulary • Single words and

phrases • Non-conventional

forms

• Abstract ideas and concepts• Implicit meaning• Unfamiliar situations• Formal registers• Technical vocabulary• Extended discourse

• Conventional forms

CAN DO Descriptors

• The CAN DO Descriptors expand the Performance Definitions for the ELP standards by giving suggested indicators (not a definitive set) in each language domain: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

• More targeted than the Performance Definitions, the Descriptors have greater instructional implications

• The information may be used to plan differentiated lessons or unit plans.

CAN DO DESCRIPTORS ACTIVITY #1

1. Each table retrieves the CAN DO descriptors for a cluster and the CELA descriptors for a corresponding grade level.

2. With your shoulder partner, compare/contrast what you see between the two grids. Highlight the differences.

3. Strolling-Pair Share. 4. Each table follows the 5-3-1 process and

gathers their one big idea or take away from the comparison.

5. A spokesperson will be selected to present the table’s one big idea.

CAN DO Descriptors• The CAN DO Descriptors offer teachers and

administrators working with ELLs a range of expectations for student performance within a designated ELP level of the WIDA ELP Standards.• The Descriptors are exemplars of what ELLs may do to

demonstrate comprehension in listening and reading as well as production in speaking and writing within a school setting.• Unlike the strands of MPIs, the Descriptors do not

scaffold from one ELP level to the next. Rather, each ELP level is to be viewed independently.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

1. Each person draws a Can Do Descriptor level from a hat.

2. Create a student profile for that student – what would they look/sound like or be able to do in a classroom?

3. You will create the profile for all four domains (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

4. Assume that the student is on the same level for all of the domains.

5. Your profile doesn’t need to be more than one page, typed if possible.

6. Please bring your assignment to the 2nd session.
