Student Growth Tracking
Recent shifts around the framing of ELP standards, instruction, and assessment have challenged educators to avoid separating the learning of content from the learning of language. They require shifts in educator’s views around how to best support the simultaneous development of ELL’s language and content proficiencies.
This Student Growth Tracking Tool will allow teachers to monitor and record student language abilities in each grade throughout the year and focus one or more English Language Proficiency standards that already correspond to Common Core Standards, Math, and Science Practices. It is a Full Meal Deal if you want to differentiate your instruction and address the needs of ELL students.
