ELD Standards: WIDA 2020
How We Align with WIDA 2020
Grade and Level-Appropriate ESOL Curriculum
Our ESOL curriculum focuses specifically on the needs of multi-lingual learners in grades 6-12. It features realistic peer-to-peer interactions and topics relevant to teenage learners.
We offer two programs which cover language development expectations across the proficiency levels.
- ELD Level 1 is designed for Newcomers and beginner level English learners with 0-24 months of ESOL study (see WIDA Prime V2 Correlation)
- ELD Level 2 is suitable for intermediate level learners (2+ years of study) and LTELs who are struggling to achieve re-designation
The new WIDA 2020 proficiency levels reflect the idea that language development is not linear. Students will have strengths and weaknesses in different proficiency areas. Our comprehensive combined Level 1 & Level 2 program gives educators the flexibility to assign relevant modules to students to support individualized instruction.
Note: We do not offer a Level 3 as advanced learners in Levels 5-6 are at the point of re-designation.
