understand the background of the new ELP
standards
understand the major shifts between the previous
Washington ELD Standards and the new English
Language Proficiency Standards
understand language function and language form
as it relates to ELP Standards and lesson planning
3. Background
Background: Why new standards?
• US DOE flexibility waiver for Washington requires the adoption of
new English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards which show
correspondences to the CCSS.
• In December of 2012, our state entered into an agreement with
the ELPA21 consortium of eleven states (led by Oregon) to
develop and adopt new ELP standards and an English language
proficiency assessment to measure students’ progress toward
the new standards.
• In spring of 2013, CCSSO commissioned the standards work to be
done by WestEd.
6. 8 Guiding Principles
1. Potential
2. Funds of Knowledge
3. Diversity in ELL Progress in Acquiring English
Language Proficiency
4. Scaffolding
5. Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal
Education
6. Special Needs
7. Access Supports and Accommodations
8. Multimedia, Technology, and New Literacies
7. Jigsaw the Guiding Principles
• Form groups of 8
• In your groups, count 1-8
• Read the Guiding Principle that
corresponds to your number and record
“Take-Aways” that resonate with you from
that Guiding Principle (2 min.)
• When everybody is ready, share your
“Take Aways” with your Group (1-2 min.)
9. A Time of Change in Washington
From…
• EALRs and GLEs for
Reading, Writing, and
Communication
• 2008 Mathematics
Learning Standards
• 2009 Science Learning
Standards
• ELD Standards
To…
• Common Core State
Standards in English
Language Arts & Literacy
• Common Core State
Standards in
Mathematics
• Next Generation Science
Standards
• ELP Standards
Shifts
10. Connection to Content
Previously…
• The WA ELD
standards showed
correspondence to
the GLEs in Reading,
Writing, and
Communication.
Now…
• The New ELP
Standards more
strongly and
intentionally support
ELLs’ participation in
content area classes.
Shifts
11. From Separation to Integration
Previously…
Four Domains:
• Listening
• Speaking
• Reading
• Writing
Now…
Three Modalities:
• receptive
• productive
• interactive
Shifts
13. Expanded Focus
Similar to the increased language demands
of CCSS and NGSS,
• the New ELP Standards have an expanded
focus on Function over Form.
• How language is used is given more
prominence than the discrete skills focus
of previous standards.
Shifts
14. Function: How Language is Used
• Social Functions
• Asking permission
• Asking for assistance
• Asking for directions
• Denying
• Promising
• Requesting
• Suggesting
• Wishing/Hoping
Adapted from Gibbons, 1999
(In Herrel & Jordan, 2012)
• Academic Functions

10 Standards (same across grade levels) (p. 4)
ELP Standards by grade level (p. 6-29) – serves as
overview
“Supporting Tools” (p. 30)
• Relationships and Convergences (p. 32-33)
• K-12 Practices Matrix (p. 34)

16. Standards 1-7: Content-Area Practice Focus
Standards 8-10: Language Specific Focus
1 construct meaning from oral presentations and literary and informational text through grade-appropriate listening, reading, and viewing
2
participate in grade-appropriate oral and written exchanges of information, ideas, and analyses, responding to peer, audience, or reader
comments and questions
3 speak and write about grade-appropriate complex literary and informational texts and topics
4 construct grade-appropriate oral and written claims and support them with reasoning and evidence
5 conduct research and evaluate and communicate findings to answer questions or solve problems
6 analyze and critique the arguments of others orally and in writing
7 adapt language choices to purpose, task, and audience when speaking and writing
8 determine the meaning of words and phrases in oral presentations and literary and informational text
9 create clear and coherent grade-appropriate speech and text
10 make accurate use of standard English to communicate in grade-appropriate speech and writing
Form Function
17. Language Planning Framework
• A tool for teachers to identify language
demands in specific lessons and activities
• Helps identify language forms and
functions to pre-teach or support student
participation and engagement
• Assists in focusing on the various language
needs in the lesson, therefore allowing for
differentiation

**The consortium is currently working on the further development of the Proficiency Level Descriptors. The first draft was not grade level specific, and with the feedback from Washington State, the PLD’s are currently under development to become grade level specific.
Management Partner (click) The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) is the same group that managed the development of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Thought Partners (click) have provided expertise in each of their respective areas and have participated in various aspects of development.
Author (click) While WestEd was contracted by the ELPA21 consortium to author the new ELP standards, practitioners in Washington State have played a very active role in reviewing and providing feedback as various drafts were made available. (click)
The Washington ELP standards that are posted for our state not only contain the new ELP standards as provided by the ELPA21 consortium, but include various formatting adaptations to reflect specific needs as expressed by practitioners and experts across the state.
Implementation of Standard:
2014-2015: Transition to the new ELP standards
2015-2016: Full Implementation
In the beginning stages of writing the ELPD Framework, the guiding principles were developed to frame the ELP Standards. The goal was to write standards that measure not only what language students have but what they do with language in the different content areas.
Change from ELD standards to the new ELP standards NOT one more thing!
the new ELP standards take into account and show correspondences to the new Common Core and Next Gen Science standards
Language proficiency is integral to all of these other areas
(Click) While our previous ELD standards included correspondences to the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) in the language arts, they were not explicitly designed to support content area instruction beyond the language arts.
(Click) /The new ELP standards have a very intentional correspondences not only to ELA and Literacy standards, but to Common Core Math and Next Gen. Science Practices.
Look at p. 5 – modalities corresponding to ELP Standards –
ELP Standards #9 and #10 correspond to all modalities

“May I…” --- structure and vocab that make up the form
The purpose of this slide is to let participants know what we’re about to go through, NOT to expand on key differences. This will be addressed as we go through everything, so don’t let this become a scavenger hunt yet.
Page 4. Here are the 10 ELP Standards. Point out – for people who are familiar with CCSS they will recognize the concept of “anchor standards” – that there are 10 ELPS common to all grade levels (on page 4).
The ELP Standards address areas that are central to more rigorous college-and-career-ready standards:
Standards 1 through 7 involve the language necessary for ELLs to engage in the content-specific practices associated with ELA & Literacy, mathematics, and science. In other words, FUNCTION. They begin with a focus on extraction of meaning and then progress (CLICK HERE TO REVEAL ARROW) to engagement in these standards. In other words, they build on each other so the depth at which a student can “do” these standards increases.
Standards 8 through 10 hone in on some of the more micro-level linguistic features that are undoubtedly important to focus on but especially in the service of the other seven standards. In other words, FORM. Note: 8-10 are more reminiscent of the previous WA ELD Standards.
A pre-planning framework is a tool teachers can use while planning lessons and activities in which the language demands are explicitly considered.
The framework helps identify language forms and functions that may need to be pre-taught.
or what supports will need to be in place for full participation and engagement in content

You have 20 minutes to complete this. Post your finished chart on the wall. Gallery walk during break.
Turn to page 34 to see the K-12 Practices Matrix
Usefulness of this matrix is to identify a practice (Math and Science primarily since those are explicitly connected to Math CCSS and NGSS) and its corresponding ELP Standard
The Matrices help teachers design lesson plans that leverage the strongest correspondences between the ELP Standards and the CCSS and NGSS
Briefly model how to read the chart – for example, if I want to see which standards address MP1, I will look at ELP Standards 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9
For ELA Correspondences there is another Matrix on the following slide is an example of the ELA Correspondences for Kindergarten so there we will see how the ELPS intersect with CCSS for ELA . (Reminder: the “ELA Practices (EP)” do not link to CCSS but were rather created through the ELPD Framework)
More useful probably than using the “English Practices” on the K-12 Matrix that we just went over –
Use the ELA Standards Matrix to identify an ELA CCSS and its corresponding ELP Standard(s).
P 35 is an example for Kindergarten.
P 46 Grade 1
P 57 Grade 2
P 68 Grade 3
P 79 Grade 4
P 90 Grade 5
For this example, let’s look at K--- ELP.K.1 corresponds to K.RL.2, etc…
Click 1 – Let’s look at an example of ELP Standards with Correspondences page. These are the tools we’re really excited about.
Click 2 – Here are the correspondences to the English, Math and Science Practices
Click 3 – This is what changes with each grade level – the CCSS ELA Correspondences
Click 4 – Because the CCSS ELA Correspondences change with each grade level, it is important that you are always using the ELP Standards for a specific grade level regardless of grade bands.
We’re going to go through what is called “Supporting Tools”. This is where we believe you find the best resources. For example, this is where you go to see alignment with CCSS and NGSS
Note: Kindergarten and 1st grade are the only ones that aren’t part of a Grade Band. However, participants should be aware that when looking at Grade 2 ELP Standards, for example, they do not want to be looking at Grade 3 ELPS even though they are in the same Grade Band
