Standards that went into effect in December of 2007. The standards describe the instruction that districts need to provide for English language learners so that they can successfully master both content area knowledge and academic language. Unlike the former ESL standards, the new standards clearly indicate that the ELPS are to be integrated into each subject of the required curriculum. This book includes a brief introduction into what kind of instruction is required for English learners, an outline of district responsibilities, cross curricular student expectations, and language proficiency level descriptors.
