Background:
|
As required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, a notice identifying the academic standards previously adopted by the school board is included as an item on the Board's agenda at the start of the school year. Since the Administration completed this in September 2020, English Language Development (ELD) Standards were recently adopted by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the Administration is requesting that the English Language Development Standards as attached be approved by the Board.
In December 2020, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction released the ELD standards to support English Learner students’ social, instructional, and academic language proficiency. The standards include support for language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies from beginning language development to more advanced levels. As a result, the ELD standards demonstrate methods for multilingual learners to access standards-based grade level content instruction through the four domains of reading, writing, speaking and listening. The ELD standards uphold the importance of educators developing content and language concurrently, with academic content as a context for language learning and language as a means for learning academic content. Introducing the ELD standards and how to integrate them into core content teaching will be part of Ambitious Instruction during the 2021-22 school year.
