Integrated and Designated English Language Development

This two-day workshop provides a deeper dive into California’s new English language development (ELD) standards to learn how they work in tandem with the California Standards to accelerate English learners’ (ELs) academic and linguistic progress.  This workshop will clarify integrated ELD, in which all teachers of ELs use the ELD standards in tandem with the focal California Standards, and designated ELD, a protected time during the regular school day in which teachers use the California ELD Standards as the focal standards in ways that build into and from content instruction in order to develop critical language ELs need for content learning in English.  Participants will learn strategies and resources for continuous learning and instructional planning.
