Imagine you are a social studies, science, or math content area teacher. Choose one. You will be planning an Integrated ELD lesson for a whole class of students whose English proficiency varies from basic to proficient. As you plan your lesson, you will need to consider how you will provide differentiated scaffolds for your English learners, but also challenge your English proficient students. Your driving standards will be the content area standards, but you will also use ELP Standards 6–8 to help support your English learners. ELP Standards 6–8 represent interactive communication, which supports listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
