Standards

MLP: Standards

DoDEA joined the WIDA Consortium in 2019 and adopted the WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Framework. The WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards highlight the English language development goals for multilingual learners as they expand their linguistic repertoire in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These standards are designed to guide all teachers in their instruction of multilingual learners and to provide a bridge to DoDEA's academic standards in Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science. 

 

ELD Standard 1: Language for Social and Instructional Purposes   Multilingual learners communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting. 
ELD Standard 2: Language for Language Arts   Multilingual learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of language arts. 
ELD Standard 3: Language for Mathematics   Multilingual learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of mathematics. 
ELD Standard 4: Language for Science   Multilingual learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of science. 
ELD Standard 5: Language for Social Studies   Multilingual learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of social studies.
