4. Designated ELD “Designated ELD is a protected time during the regular school day where teachers use the CA ELD Standards as the focal standards in ways that build into and from content instruction in order to develop critical English language skills, knowledge, and abilities needed for content learning in English.” ELA/ELD framework, Chapter 2 Integrated ELD “The ELA/ELD framework uses the term integrated ELDto refer to ELD throughout the day and across the disciplines. All teachers with ELs in their classrooms should use the CA ELD Standards in addition to their focal CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy and other content standards to support their ELs’ linguistic and academic progress.” ELA/ELD framework, Chapter 2 Introduction to California English Language Development Standards: http://youtu.be/yCkgvgepv1w

7. Formative Assessment Defined “Formative assessment occurs in real time, during instruction while student learning is underway.” (Allal 2010; 90 Black and Wiliam 1998; Bell and Cowie 2000; Heritage 2010; Shepard 2000 2005).

8. The Essential Elements of Formative Assessment • Clear learning goals and success criteria. • Eliciting gathering and interpretation. • Responsive pedagogical action. • Student involvement. (Margaret Heritage, Presentation Irvine California, February 25, 2014)

11. Formative Assessment Assessment has two fundamental purposes: one is to provide information about student learning minute-by-minute, day-to-day, and week-to-week so teachers can continuously adapt instruction to meet students’ specific needs and secure progress. This type of assessment is intended to assist learning and is often referred to as formative assessment or assessment for learning. Formative assessment occurs in real time, during instruction while student learning is underway (Allal 2010; Black and Wiliam 1998; Bell and Cowie 2000; Heritage 2010; Shepard 2000, 2005). For example, a third grade teacher working with small groups of students on distinguishing their point of view from a particular author’s is able to gain insights into students’ developing skills through the use of strategic questions and can adjust instruction and students’ next steps immediately based on the students’ responses. http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/cf/documents/chapter8sbeadopted.pdf (ELA/ELD Framework, p. 5)

12. Formative Assessment Figure 8.2. What is Formative Assessment? • What is formative assessment? Formative assessment is a process teachers and students use during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching moves and learning tactics. It is not a tool or an event, nor a bank of test items or performance tasks. Well‐supported by research evidence, it improves students’ learning in time to achieve intended instructional outcomes. Key features include: • Clear lesson‐learning goals and success criteria, so students understand what they’re aiming for; • Evidence of learning gathered during lessons to determine where students are relative to goals; • A pedagogical response to evidence, including descriptive feedback that supports learning by helping students answer: Where am I going? Where am I now? What are my next steps? • Peer‐ and self‐assessment to strengthen students’ learning, efficacy, confidence, and autonomy; • A collaborative classroom culture where students and teachers are partners in learning. http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/cf/documents/chapter8sbeadopted.pdf (ELA/ELD Framework, p. 5)

13. Assessment A second purpose of assessment is to provide information on students’ current levels of achievement after a period of learning has occurred. Such assessments—which may be classroom-based, districtwide, or statewide—serve a summative purpose and are sometimes referred to as assessments of learning. They help determine whether students have attained a certain level of competency after a more or less extended period of instruction and learning, for example, at the end of a unit which may last several weeks, at the end of a quarter, or annually (National Research Council [NRC] 2001). Inferences made by teachers from the results of these assessments can be used to make decisions about student placement, instruction, curriculum, and interventions, and to assign grades. For example, the current state assessment of English language proficiency (ELP), the California English Language Development Text (CELDT), measures an EL’s annual progress in attaining ELP. School districts use the results of the CELDT to make decisions about the ongoing instructional placement or possible reclassification of ELs. The CELDT will be replaced by the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC).

18. Universal Design for Learning “UDL involves the use of effective teaching practices and the intentional differentiation of instruction from the outset to meet the needs of the full continuum of learners. Teachers who employ UDL attend to how information is shared along with choices of action, expression, and engagement. In other words, as they plan, general education teachers consider different ways to present information and content, different ways the students can express what they know, and different ways of stimulating students’ interest and motivation for learning—all based on students’ needs (CAST 2011).” Chapter 9 page 43
