I. INSTRUCTION FOR EL’S IS CHANGING IN MASSACHUSETTS
1. Increase the rigor of
language instruction
by emphasizing
academic language
across content areas
2. Language instruction
must happen through
high-quality, well-
scaffolded content
instruction – not only
through ESL pull-out
classes

VI. Ellevation Platform Description
14
II. THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES
Language objectives specifically identify:
1) The way students will use language to engage with the
content of the lesson and accomplish the content objective.
2) The specific components of academic language
(vocabulary, language structures, etc.) that students will need
to learn to accomplish the objective.
Before we start, what is a language objective?
15
II. THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES
1. Planning
• How is language instruction integrated with content
• What academic language must students learn
2. Student Support
• What scaffolds must a teacher have ready.
3. Differentiation
• A “strand” of language objectives helps teachers set
appropriate objectives at different levels and better
differentiate instruction

• List a specific set of
standards or objectives
we MUST teach
• Provide a bank of every
language objective we
would ever need
• Provide tools that we can
use to build language
objectives for our
classrooms
• Provide a bank of sample
MPIs that we can transform
to create language
objectives that fit our
contexts

IV. CREATING LANGUAGE OBJECITVES
• Language Objectives are not identical to MPIs and
should not be used interchangeably.
• A language objective is much like an MPI but is then
'transformed' by including both supports and the
levels it should be used for.
• You may need to tweak what we are presenting to
reflect processes in place in your district; we know
districts have different ways of doing this.
Let’s begin by addressing what may be some confusion

Formative Framework
The model performance indicators (MPIs) for the WIDA ELP Standards are exemplars of a students' English language development. The MPIs
are not the standards but are descriptive of language expectations at scaffolded levels of English language proficiency for a given topic/genre
and language domain based on increasing linguistic complexity, vocabulary usage and language control through the use of supports. Educators
should use transformations of the MPIs to meet their specific academic content area needs. For more information on MPI transformations,
please consult the WIDA ELP Standards Resource Guide on the WIDA website at www.wida.us.
Formative assessments are on-going assessments, reviews, and observations in a classroom. Teachers use formative assessment to improve
instructional methods and student feedback throughout the teaching and learning process.

English Proficiency Test Scores
Each LEP student takes an English Proficiency test when they enroll and each spring. Each student receives a proficiency level in each
domain (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) based on his raw scores. Once the student receives specific levels in all four domains
they will no longer be considered an LEP student and will not receive ESL services.
Rafael took the ACCESS for ELLs on 3/17/2011 and his test results are listed below.
Listening Writing Reading Speaking Composite Proficiency

  • 13. I. INSTRUCTION FOR EL’S IS CHANGING IN MASSACHUSETTS 1. Increase the rigor of language instruction by emphasizing academic language across content areas 2. Language instruction must happen through high-quality, well- scaffolded content instruction – not only through ESL pull-out classes 13
  • 14. AGENDA I. Instruction for ELs is Changing II. The Importance of Language Objectives III. Leveraging WIDA Resources IV. Creating Language Objectives: Step-by-Step V. Q and A VI. Ellevation Platform Description 14
  • 15. II. THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Language objectives specifically identify: 1) The way students will use language to engage with the content of the lesson and accomplish the content objective. 2) The specific components of academic language (vocabulary, language structures, etc.) that students will need to learn to accomplish the objective. Before we start, what is a language objective? 15
  • 16. II. THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES 1. Planning • How is language instruction integrated with content • What academic language must students learn 2. Student Support • What scaffolds must a teacher have ready. 3. Differentiation • A “strand” of language objectives helps teachers set appropriate objectives at different levels and better differentiate instruction 16

  • 21. AGENDA I. Instruction for ELLs is Changing II. The Importance of Language Objectives III. Leveraging WIDA Resources IV. Creating Language Objectives: Step-by-Step V. Q and A VI. Ellevation Platform Description 21
  • 22. IV. CREATING LANGUAGE OBJECITVES • Language Objectives are not identical to MPIs and should not be used interchangeably. • A language objective is much like an MPI but is then 'transformed' by including both supports and the levels it should be used for. • You may need to tweak what we are presenting to reflect processes in place in your district; we know districts have different ways of doing this. Let’s begin by addressing what may be some confusion 22
  • 23. IV. CREATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Transforming an MPI into a Language Objective WIDA Customize Result Identify MPI Add Supports & Level Language Objective Start Select Content objective 23
  • 24. IV. CREATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES: STEP-BY-STEP 1. Set the Stage • Know your students and levels • Identify content standard at unit level • Language Domain: Listening, Speaking, R eading Writing • Identify applicable MPI 2. Craft Language Objective • Language Function to describe what students should do (CAN Do’s are a great source) • What supports do students need • Content/topic linked to CCSS • Customize to match levels 24
  • 25. IV. KNOW YOUR STUDENTS AND LEVELS Content Standard: Language Domain: L e v e l 6 R e a c h i n g Level 1 Entering Level 2 Emerging Level 3 Developing Level 4 Expanding Level 5 Bridging Use the chart below to place students in each level. 25
  • 26. IV. KNOW YOUR STUDENTS AND LEVELS There are 3 parts to a language objective. Purpose of the Language 1. Language Function Sensory, Graphic, Interactive 2. Support Link to content 3. Content/Topic Language Objective 26
  • 27. IV. CREATING AN INDIVIDUAL LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE Name familiar objects in photographs or illustrations associated with weather conditions (e.g. “cloud”). Language Function Type of Support Topic or Content GRADE: K-2 LEVEL: 1 DOMAIN: SPEAKING LANGUAGE OF SCIENCE 27
  • 28. IV. CREATING AN INDIVIDUAL LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE Describe… Compare… Explain… … using a graphic organizer … in models and figures … with a partner … with the water cycle. … with the scientific method. … with photosynthesis. TOPIC or CONTENT Name familiar objects… LANGUAGE FUNCTION … in photographs and illustrations TYPE OF SUPPORT … with weather conditions. We can transform sample MPIs by changing components. 28
  • 29. IV. CREATING AN INDIVIDUAL LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE WIDA provides some sample supports we can use: (from “2012 Amplification of English Language Development Standards, K-12,” WIDA) 29
  • 30. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Students at different levels will require different supports. GA Science Curriculum Frameworks • S1E1: Student will observe, measure, and communicate weather data to see patterns in weather and climate. WIDA Standard 4: Language of Science Content Objective • SWBAT track daily weather on a class weather chart, including temperature, wind direction, and precipitation. Let’s look at a 1st grade science standard: 30
  • 31. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Let’s differentiate language objectives for two groups of ELs Levels 1-3 Levels 4-5 Name familiar objects in photographs or illustrations associated with weather conditions (e.g. “cloud”). We can use a Level 1 MPI as a resource… Describe daily weather conditions from photographs and class charts (i.e. Today the weather is rainy.) Compare daily weather conditions across different days using class charts (i.e. I know Thursday was hotter than Monday because_____ ). Domain: SPEAKING and transform it to fit our class: 31
  • 32. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Students at different levels will require different supports. Common Core State Standard • RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. WIDA Standard 3: Language of Mathematics Content Objective • SWBAT solve word problems involving unit rates. • SWBAT justify their decisions based on unit rates in real-life scenarios (e.g. choosing which car to buy based on gas mileage in miles / gallon). Let’s look at a 6th grade math standard: 32
  • 33. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Let’s differentiate language objectives for two groups of ELs Levels 1-3 Compare choices based on real-life rate calculations using a graphic organizer and sentence frames (e.g. _____ is greater than _____). Levels 4-5 Critique choices based on others’ mathematical reasoning from sample solutions to real- life rate problems. Domain: WRITING List choices based on rate calculations in real-life situations using templates and a word bank with a partner. We can use a Level 1 MPI as a resource… and transform it to fit our class: 33
  • 34. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Students at different levels will require different supports. Common Core State Standard • CCSS RL6.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings. Content Objective • SWBAT infer the author’s intended effect of figurative language in a poem. Let’s look at a 6th ELA standard: WIDA Standard 2: The Language of ELA 34
  • 35. IV. DIFFERENTIATING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES Let’s differentiate language objectives for two groups of ELs Levels 1-3 Give opinions with reasons about the effect of figurative language in a poem using sentence starters and a word bank (e.g. when the author says __ it makes the reader feel __ ). Levels 4-5 Create multiple paragraphs analyzing the effect of figurative language in a poem. Domain: WRITING Identify words or phrases representing figurative language in visually supported related sentences (e.g., like or as) (Grade 6-8, Reading MPI) . We can use a Level 1 MPI as a resource… and transform it to fit our class: 35

The MPIs are not the standards but are descriptive of language expectations at scaffolded levels of English language proficiency for a given topic/genre and language domain based on increasing linguistic complexity, vocabulary usage and language control through the use of supports. Educators should use transformations of the MPIs to meet their specific academic content area needs. For more information on MPI transformations, please consult the WIDA ELP Standards Resource Guide on the WIDA website at www.wida.us. Formative assessments are on-going assessments, reviews, and observations in a classroom. Teachers use formative assessment to improve instructional methods and student feedback throughout the teaching and learning process.
