Let’s Talk About The ELD Standards
• What drives the content of the ELD
standards? In other words, what will
teachers teach English language
learners?
SAMPLE Planning for Common Core Standards for Writing #5 and ELD Standard #2
Content (what students will learn)
Supports
Domain (that is targeted)
(differentiated by
language proficiency
levels)
Function (what students are
doing with the language)
How can we ensure language (specifically
academic language) is a part of the content
teachers are teaching?
Remember the ELD Standard:
• #2• English language learners communicate information, ideas,
and concepts necessary for academic success in the content
area of Language Arts
• The language of Language Arts
Sentence
frames, stems
or cues..
Forms (what
the language
looks like)
Conventions
(Grammar, Usage,
Mechanics)
Academic
vocabulary or
language
Where to Find the Sample Planning for CCSS and ELD Standards (Amplified Strands)
http://www.wida.us/downloadLibrary.aspx
The resources only provide SAMPLES of the kind of planning teachers should
engage in to make the content accessible to English learners.
What other subjects do you see embedded in the samples?
How do all teachers become teachers of language?
Rationale for DPS Content/Language
Objective:
In planning for all students to be able to
access ambitious new core content, we
recognized that teachers needed a
structure to be deliberate about student
access to content.

Components of DPS
Content/Language Objective
• Content
What are students learning?
• Targeted Domain
What domain will I specifically target in
this lesson?
• Language Function
How will students use language in the lesson?
• Language Form
What grammatical structures of the language, syntax, and
academic vocabulary will be used?
• Supports
1) What graphic organizer will help all of my students
complete the function and what forms (language) will help
them communicate their ideas?
2) How can I differentiate supports so that my…
a) 1-2 language proficiency level students understand
the content?
b) 3-4 language proficiency level students understand
the content?
c) 5-6 language proficiency level students understand
the content?

Mrs. W is a 75-year-old female who first presented to
Presbyterian/St. Luke's 3/12/10 with altered mental
status and supraventricular tachycardia. She was easily
converted with adenosine, but her workup revealed
hypoxemia and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Since that
time she has had a thorough evaluation to delineate the
etiology of her PH. She had a CTA 3/12/10 showing no
evidence of PE; a lower extremity US 3/14/10 showing
no DVT; and normal labs including CBC, CMP, ANA
profile, UA, T3, T4, and coagulation studies.

Structure of the DPS
Content/Language Objective(CLO)
A language function articulated to a language
domain, a language form, content, and
supports, including a whole group support
(graphic organizer with language) that are
differentiated according to proficiency levels to
support flexible groups:
a) levels 1 and 2;
b) levels 3 and 4; and
c) levels 5 and 6
Summative CLO
Explain in writing
a language form, content, and language
supports that are differentiated according to
language proficiency levels to support flexible
groups:
a) levels 1 and 2;
b) levels 3 and 4; and
c) levels 5 and 6
Summative CLO
Explain in writing,
why a slave would not feel a part of the Fourth of July
celebration
a language form
and language supports that are differentiated
according to language proficiency levels to support
flexible groups:
a) levels 1 and 2;
b) levels 3 and 4; and
c) levels 5 and 6
Summative CLO
Explain in writing, why a slave would not feel a
part of the Fourth of July celebration
using varied transitions and syntax (because, yet
due to, even though, there is little evidence, etc.)
and language supports that are differentiated
according to language proficiency levels to
support flexible groups:
a) levels 1 and 2;
b) levels 3 and 4; and
c) levels 5 and 6
Summative CLO
Explain in writing why a slave would not feel a part of
the Fourth of July celebration using varied transitions
and syntax (because, yet due to, even though, there
is little evidence, etc.)
after completing a tree map and with
a. labeled pictures clarifying language and
concepts from reading
b. student exemplars (teacher created for the
first year if necessary)
c. published essays with varied transitions
and syntax highlighted
Backwards Planning
Look at the reading on page 173. What will
students need to do first?
Would you agree that we need to…
• build background knowledge?
• define vocabulary and phrases?
Describe in writing daily experiences of slavery
using descriptive language (cotton burrs,
hoeing fields, etc.) after exploring a trunk of
artifacts (journal of a slave, clothing, cotton
plants, shackles) with a bubble map and
a. a video with closed captions and slowed
English
b. a Freyer model of “work” for slaves
c. informational texts describing work for
slaves
Orally explain phrases used in Douglass’
speech using synonymous phrases (not
wanting in= not lacking in, give frame to= to
develop, etc.) after working in small groups to
complete a bubble map and with
a. labeled pictures clarifying language and
concepts
b. a teacher-created dictionary of archaic
language
c. full sentences to paraphrase
Backwards Planning
After understanding the language in the reading,
what will students need to do next?
Would you agree that we need to support
students’…
• analysis of the text?
• skills in finding relevant details?
Analyze by writing notes of Douglass’ view of
slaves’ feelings about emancipation from
Britain using descriptive phrases (no relief from
work, unjust experiences, etc.) after completing
a cause & effect map and with
a. labeled pictures clarifying language and
concepts
b. a teacher-created dictionary of archaic
language
c. informational texts describing slavery
Backwards Planning
What else do they need to know how to do?
Would you agree that more objectives need to
be developed to support…
• transitions and syntax?
• textual support (evidence from text)?
• commentary?
• structure of the essay, mechanics?
Expectations Meeting Student Expertise
If you are planning for your own classroom, use the CCSS
student exemplars to backwards plan the
content/language objectives to build up to the language
that your students need to access content and language
based on where they are.
If you are planning for the district or a localized team, use
the CCSS student exemplars and backwards plan the
content/language objectives after careful examination of
the population’s mastery and gaps of the scope and
sequence before making assumptions about which
language needs to be built up.

Goals
• The goals of this presentation are to:
– Provide an overview and context for non-tested subjects assessment
development work
– Give updates on progress to date
– Provide tentative plan for libraries and technology in the 2012-13
school year and beyond
– Highlight ways that teachers can engage in the development process
60
Overview
• The purpose of this work is to develop common district
assessments in traditionally non-tested subjects, including:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
The Arts (Dance, Drama/Theater Arts, Music, Visual Arts)
Physical Education
Science
Social Studies
World Languages
Career and Technical Education
Technology
Library
Some literacy courses
• Teachers in non-tested subjects account for 70 percent of DPS
teachers
A new opportunity…
New assessments in non-tested subjects will:
– Highlight instruction taking place in ALL content areas
– Highlight learning and concept and skill mastery taking place in ALL
content areas
– Create greater course consistency across the district as curriculum
and instruction transition to new standards
– Provide valuable data to teachers on student learning and the
effectiveness of their instructional practices
Overview – continued
• Results from these assessments will be used to calculate
measures of student academic growth (the change in student
achievement for an individual student between two or more
points in time)
– Assessments will have a pretest (given towards the beginning of
instruction in a course) and a posttest (given towards the end of
instruction in a course)
– How student growth will be calculated is still being determined
• The results will contribute to teacher evaluations in the
student outcomes component of LEAP

Standards Implementation
• Transitioning to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and
the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS)
• DPS will spend the 2012-13 school year aligning curriculum,
instruction, and assessments to new standards
• Full implementation to begin in the 2013-14 school year
• New assessments will align to the new standards
– gauge student progress towards new expectations for students found in
the standards
– What does this mean for libraries and technology?

State legislation – SB10-191
• Defines teacher and principal effectiveness
• At least 50 percent of teacher and principal evaluation must be
based on student growth
• Requires three consecutive years of effectiveness to acquire
non-probationary status
• Allows for loss of non-probationary status after two years of less
than effective ratings
• For additional information:
http://www.cde.state.co.us/EducatorEffectiveness/index.asp
NTS Philosophy
• Develop assessments in non-tested subjects that:
– Provide teachers with valuable information about students, in addition
to their use in teacher evaluations
• Inform instructional practices
– Are AUTHENTIC to each course and content area
• Use appropriate items types including multiple choice questions, open/short
response, product/performance, portfolios, etc.
– Align to new standards where possible
– Allow teachers to drive the process
• Opportunities to participate in assessment development design teams
• Provide ongoing opportunities to provide feedback
Short- and Long-Term NTS Goals
Short-term goal:
Measurements of
student growth for
all non-tested
subjects teachers
from districtcreated
assessments in at
least ONE course

Current Work
• Since November, teacher groups have been working on
assessments in select courses the following content areas:
–
–
–
–
–
Music
Visual Arts
Physical Education
Social Studies
World Languages
• Teachers have explored curriculum, identified course learning
and assessment objectives, and developed sample assessment
items
• In the spring, teachers piloted sample assessment item types in
their classrooms to inform summer development
• Groups continued their assessment development work this
summer, and will be piloting assessments during the 2012-13
school year in select courses and schools
Plans for Libraries and Technology
• Begin to identify different instructional practices across the
district
• Engage teachers to determine where assessment development
efforts should focus
• Begin thinking about barriers to assessments and what
messages need to be delivered and to whom
During the 2012-13 School Year…
• Assessment development work will continue in music, PE, social
studies, and visual arts
• We will begin assessment conversations with teachers in the
following content areas:
– Fall 2012*
•
•
•
Dance
Drama/Theater Arts
Technology/Library
– Spring 2013*
• Career and Technical Education
