23. Common Concerns ● What about existing ELD materials? What do we keep? What do we eliminate? ● How will ELD be included in district created CCSS curriculum (Units of Study)? ● How do we help content teachers understand their role (and obligation) to support disciplinary literacy and language development? ● How do we create a system that supports the collaboration necessary to develop effective lessons and instruction (cross-content; integrated/designated ELD)? ● How do we ensure schedule and placement flexibility for ELs as they progress?
