intended to clarify the knowledge, skills, and abilities ELLs need to engage with/master the ELA/Literacy CCSS
• CONTENT KNOWLEDGE o CA Common Core

A Note on English Language Learners
• It is also beyond the scope of the Standards to define the full range of supports appropriate for English language learners and for students with special needs. At the same time, all students must have the opportunity to learn and meet the same high standards if they are to access the knowledge and skills necessary in their post–high school lives.

New CA ELD Standards
• Adopted in November 2012 • Align with CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy • Highlight and amplify the key language
knowledge, skills, and abilities in the CCSS critical for ELLs to simultaneously succeed in school while developing English
• To be used in tandem with the CCSS, not in isolation
• K-8 by grade vs. grade spans for 9-10 and 11-12

ELD Standards: More Focused
• Fewer standards that are necessary and essential for development and success
• Clearer coherent body of standards that have clear links to curriculum and assessment
• Higher correspondence with the elevated standards in the CCSS

Proficiency Level Descriptors (PLDs)
• Describe student knowledge, skills, and abilities across a continuum, identifying what ELLs know and can do at early stages and exit from 3 proficiency levels
• Emerging • Expanding • Bridging

Not a Linear Progression
• Described as linear across the levels a heuristic
• Actual second language acquisition is much more dynamic o Abilities often vary by domain (e.g., listening,
speaking, reading, writing) o Proficiency levels ≠ identify the student o Proficiency levels = what a student knows
and can do at a particular stage of ELD

1) Emerging Level
• Typically progress very quickly, learning to use English for immediate needs as well as beginning to understand and use academic vocabulary and other uses of academic language

2) Expanding Level
• Challenged to increase their English skills in more contexts, and learn a greater variety of vocabulary and linguistic structures, applying their growing language skills in more sophisticated ways appropriate to their age and grade level

3) Bridging Level
• Continue to learn to apply a range of high-level English language skills in a wide variety of contexts, including comprehension and production of highly technical texts
