Integrated and Designated ELD in conjunction with culturally and linguistically sustaining practices are the foundational components of effective and responsive secondary schools for meeting the needs of English Learners. In this institute participants will:
• build an understanding of how to integrate support for language development with disciplinary content knowledge
• learn how to plan responsive Designated ELD that is linked to academic content
• become acquainted with high-leverage instructional strategies
• focus on all four domains of language
Participants will become acquainted with the guidance provided in key California Department of Education resources, including the English Learner Roadmap, ELD Standards, ELA/ ELD Framework, and the newly published Improving Education for Multilingual and English Learner Students: Research to Practice.
Learning Goals
Deepen knowledge of assets-based pedagogy, particularly culturally and linguistically sustaining practices.
Enhance understanding of the CA ELD Standards and how they support responsive integrated and designated ELD instruction.
Learn high-leverage instructional practices for simultaneously supporting students’ content learning and language development.

CA ELD Standards Part II: Learning about How English Works
Read the Sentences: First, take turns, round robin style, reading each sentence in each row of the table.
Get the Gist: Next, discuss what you think the “gist” of the paragraph is.
Order the Sentences: After you discuss the gist, work together to place the jumbled sentences in the correct order.
Find the Language Clues: Once the text is reassembled, identify the language clues you used to reassemble the text in order.
Make Meaning: Next, discuss the meanings in the text. Come to a consensus on the three big take-aways from this paragraph.
Think about Your Students: Finally, discuss the activity you just engaged in. If you were a secondary grades student, what specific awareness about language would you have been developing? How were you developing these understandings?
