This has built a culture where expertise is not tied to the position you hold or the numbers
of years you have been part
of our school community, but rather the standards and specific demonstrations
of what «Highly
Accomplished» and «Lead»
practice means, have given us a common
language to not only value expertise, but to be able to collectively recognise it.
The 10 ELP Standards highlight a strategic set
of language functions (what students do with
language to
accomplish content - specific tasks) and
language forms (vocabulary, grammar, and discourse specific to a particular content area or discipline) which are needed by ELLs as they develop competence in the
practices associated with English
language arts (ELA) & literacy, mathematics, and science (Bunch, Kiber, & Pimentel, 2013; CCSSO, 2012; Lee, Quinn, & Valdez, 2013; Moschkovich, 2012; van Lier & Walqui, 2012).
