What is the bigger picture? Treat CELDT in similar fashion to CST (testing environment, letters to parents, bell schedules, attendance incentives) Our students take the test as seriously as we do Focus not just on preparing for this test, but building academic vocabulary through targeted ELD and content-based ELD Quality instruction is the best preparation for any test CELDT Training 2008-2009
