Teaching ELLs involves aligning learning targets/objectives with both English language proficiency standards and English language arts or other content standards. Incorporating elements of Universal Design for Learning enables teachers to promote an inclusive classroom environment.
Using the ELP standards from Arizona, select a stage (grade level) for a group of K-3 grade ELLs of your choice. Utilize these standards to focus on the development of a particular language domain.
