  4. Outcomes Participants will practice strategies to: • Integrate explicit academic language learning into content lessons • Build a staircase of skills necessary for evidence-based speaking and writing • Motivate learners through engaging and rigorous tasks

  5. CCLS “Shifts” and ELLS • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts • Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text • Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary

  6. ELLs and the CCLS Diane StaehrFenner and John Segota (2012) “English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards in conjunction with content-area standards provide guideposts for helping ELLs develop the academic language necessary to reach the high levels of achievement outlined for all students.” Diane August (2011) “CCSS and ELP standards should complement and inform each other.” “Ells, especially those who start school in later grades, will need additional time and appropriate support to meet standards.”

  7. IMPLICATIONS: What we know about language development must guide how ELL students will meet the Common Core Standards. Only with explicit and regular instruction of Academic English will ELLs reach levels of achievement set forth in the CCLS and content standards.
