EAGER Proposal for a Teacher's Guide to the Mathematics and Science Resources of the ELPD Framework

州首席学校官员理事会协调编写了一份文件，说明在英语能力发展标准框架指导下实施标准的情况。环境法和政策框架的明确目的是为各国提供指导，指导它们如何开发和使用工具来创建和评估环境法和政策标准。一旦出版，它立即变得明显，ELPD框架将是很大的帮助教师。然而，该框架是专门为那些负责制定，采用或调整国家ELPD标准和评估的人编写的，这些标准和评估支持基于将概念与实践结合起来的学习表现的STEM教育的语言需求。 也就是说，它有一个技术重点，而不是教学重点。由于教育机构目前正在培养教师实施这些标准的能力，因此，在已经采用基于标准的模式的州，迫切需要开发和验证这样一种工具。的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、学校和学区直接使用，以支持英语学习者（ELs）。在科学和数学课堂上，支持不同语言水平的英语学习的资源很少。 支持英语学习的课堂资源？在职业和大学准备标准的基础上发展科学和数学方面的学术语言是不存在的。这种资源的开发将对科学和数学教师产生重大影响？学习EL。了解教师如何？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对于教师、管理者和研究者来说将是非常有价值的。可以说，ELPD框架（和拟议的教师？的指南）具有超越EL的应用。许多挑战？处于危险之中学生在科学和数学课上面临的可能不是由于缺乏内容的知识，本身，但缺乏沟通的能力？语言？的内容。推荐的老师？的指南可以帮助教师支持所有学生的语言基本的科学和数学标准的CCSS和NGSS。

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.
