=Creating Language-Specific Visions and Summatives for ESL=

Objectives:
 * 1) CMWBAT synthesize ELPBO and WIDA to create a strong vision and corresponding progress reports.
 * 2) CMWBAT identify strong assessments to observe language progress.


 * Agenda: [[file:Agenda 12.10.doc]]


 * Here is the [|Prezi] from the workshop.


 * Here is the **End-of-Year Vision Portfolio** for ELL students based on the WIDA descriptors and differentiated by level. You can determine where your students fall on the language development continuum (i.e., What level are they?) and set individual and class-level goals accordingly:

 * Here is an example of **how you can modify your original Vision and Big Goal** to include specific language development goals:[[file:Balter.Vision.pdf]]


 * Here are sample ESL Progress Reports based on the ELPBO. You can easily make similar reports from the WIDA descriptors and modify reports to fit your specific setting.
 * 3rd and 4th Grade Beginner / Newcomer [[file:ELL Progress Report 3-4 Newcomer.doc]]
 * 7th and 8th Grade Intermediate [[file:ELL Progress Report 7-8 Intermediate.doc]]
 * 9th - 12th Grade Advanced / Transitioning [[file:ELL Progress Report 9-12 Transitioning.doc]]


 * Here is information on WIDA:
 * WIDA Homepage
 * WIDA English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards
 * ACCESS for ELLs (the new assessment that will replace the MEPA). This page includes information about the test as well as sample items.
 * This document is a general overview of the different WIDA levels. This is what we showed in the workshop and the document we used to create the ESL vision:
