7. ELP Standards Infused with a Fundamental Shift in How Language is Viewed Our overarching focus addresses the following question: What does it look like when English language learners (ELLs) use language effectively as they progress toward independent participation in grade-appropriate activities?

8. The 10 ELP Standards: Organized in Relation to Participation in Content-Area Practices 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

10. Key Characteristics Based on Oregon’s 2013 ELP Standards Divided into 3 grade bands  Lower Elementary (K-2)  Upper Elementary (3 – 5/6)  Secondary (6/7 – 12) 14 Similar Criteria in each Grade Band Important Considerations highlighted for each criteria 10

11. Criteria: 1 and 2 11 CriteriaImportant Considerations 1. Materials provide scaffolding for English Learners of varying English proficiency to construct meaning from grade-appropriate texts and oral presentations. Materials scaffold the construction of meaning from identifying key words and phrases to identifying central ideas and themes. Resources are grade-level-specific, culturally relevant, current and engaging. Resources also include informational and literary text as well as a variety of media. 2. Materials provide students with opportunities for frequent oral and written interactions for the specific purposes indicated under Important Considerations. Specific purposes include: exchanging ideas and information, critiquing, analyzing, responding to peers, obtaining information from real world sources (i.e., internet, periodicals, etc.), and engaging in complex, relevant, and authentic academic tasks with appropriate scaffolds.
