The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) coordinated the development of a document addressing the implementation of Standards as guided by a framework for English Language Proficiency Development Standards (ELPD Framework). The expressed purpose of the ELPD Framework is to provide guidance to states on how to develop and use tools for the creation and evaluation of ELP standards. Once published, it became immediately apparent that the ELPD Framework would be of great help to teachers. However, the Framework was written specifically for those tasked with the responsibility to develop, adopt, or adapt state ELPD standards and assessments that support the language demands of STEM education grounded in learning performances that cojoin concepts with practices. That is, it has a technical focus rather than an instructional focus. There is an immediate need to develop and validate such a tool in states that have adopted Standards-based models, since educational agencies are now building teachers capacities to implement these standards.This two-year project will develop, pilot, validate, and publish a Teacher?s Guide to the Science and Mathematics Resources of the ELPD Framework. This guide and related materials will translate the key science and mathematics concepts, ideas, and practices found within the ELPD Framework into classroom resources for direct use by teachers, schools, and districts to support English learners (ELs). Resources supporting ELs at different language proficiency levels in science and mathematics classrooms are sparse. Classroom-based resources supporting ELs? academic language development in science and mathematics based on career and college readiness standards are non-existent. The development of such a resource would have significant impact on science and mathematics teachers? teaching of ELs. Understanding how teachers? practice in supporting content-based academic language changes by using such a resource would be of great value for teachers, administrators, and researchers. Arguably, the ELPD Framework (and the proposed teacher?s guide) has applications beyond ELs. Many challenges ?at-risk? students face in science and mathematics classes may not be due to a lack in content knowledge, per se, but a lack of ability to communicate in the ?language? of the content. The proposed teacher?s guide could help teachers support all students in the language underlying the science and mathematics standards in the CCSS and NGSS.

国家首席学校官委员会（CCSSO）协调制定了一份文件，讨论在英语语言能力发展标准框架（ELPD框架）的指导下实施标准的问题。ELP框架的明确目的是为各州提供关于如何开发和使用创建和评估ELP标准的工具的指导。一旦发布，我们就会发现ELPD框架对教师有很大的帮助。然而，该框架是专门为那些负责开发、采用或调整州ELPD标准和评估的人编写的，这些标准和评估支持基于概念与实践相结合的学习绩效的STEM教育的语言需求。也就是说，它侧重于技术而不是教学。在采用基于标准的模式的州，迫切需要开发和验证这样的工具，因为教育机构现在正在培养教师实施这些标准的能力。这个为期两年的项目将开发、试验、验证和出版一个教师？《ELPD框架的科学和数学资源指南》。本指南和相关材料将把ELPD框架中发现的关键科学和数学概念、思想和实践转化为课堂资源，供教师、学校和地区直接使用，以支持英语学习者。在科学和数学课堂上，支持不同语言熟练程度的英语教学的资源很少。支持ELs的课堂资源？基于职业和大学准备标准的科学和数学的学术语言发展是不存在的。这种资源的开发会对科学和数学教师产生重大影响吗？英语教学。如何理解教师？通过使用这样的资源来支持基于内容的学术语言变化的实践将对教师、管理人员和研究人员有很大的价值。可以说，ELPD框架(以及拟议的教师？s指南)的应用范围超出了el。许多挑战？风险？学生在自然科学和数学课堂上面临的问题，可能不是由于内容知识本身的缺乏，而是缺乏用语言进行交流的能力。内容的。拟议中的老师？该指南可以帮助教师在CCSS和NGSS的科学和数学标准的语言基础上支持所有学生。
