English Language Development

Become acquainted with the ELD standards, learn about instructional strategies that support ELLs, and explore online tools to help your ELL students succeed.

• View the California Department of Education’s English Language Development Standards.
• The ELA/ELD Framework bridges the CCSS ELA/Literacy Standards with the ELD Standards, for a more clear understanding of how to support ELLs through Integrated (for all) and Designated (for ELLs) ELD instruction.
• This table of contents “cheat sheet” will help you navigate the ELA/ELD Framework! (The grade-level chapters, which begin in chapter 3, are a particularly helpful resource for teachers.)
• See our ELA/ELD Framework vignette and snapshot resource that directly links to each vignette/snapshot, as well as highlights the content areas and grades addressed.
