Partner A: Decide which category (designated or integrated) and explain your thinking using the Collaborative Conversations handout Partner B: Use the provided frames to agree/disagree in order to come to a decision Repeat the same process until all quotes all pulled from the envelope

A Comprehensive Approach “ELs at all English Proficiency levels and all ages require both integrated and designated ELD. Such multilayered application of the CA ELD Standards requires deep collaboration between educators, support for teachers and most importantly a sustained focus on the strengths and needs of individual ELs and a persistent belief that all ELs can achieve the highest levels of academic and linguistic excellence” ELD ELA Framework, pg. 97
