Step 1 Examine the Identified ELP Standard(s) and Corresponding Level Descriptors
Consulting ELP Standards and Level Descriptors Examine the identified ELP Standard(s) and corresponding level descriptors for the task If there are many applicable standards, choose one or two that relate to your students’ areas of growth. Notes:Step 2 Interpret Student Work Using the Standards Level Descriptors
Using ELP Standards Level Descriptors as rubrics to interpret student work Do the same standards apply when you examine your students’ output? What level(s) most accurately describe your students’ work? Remember that the interpretation only tells you the level of this specific piece of student work; your students’ levels might shift based on different tasks or learning- bjectives.
Identify patterns (similarities or differences) in your students’ work if you are
interpreting multiple pieces. Notes:Step 3 Identify strategies to support student needs
Identifying instructional supports to improve student learning Use the identified level (and perhaps the next level) to provide student with formative feedback. Use the identified patterns in student work to plan for instructional adjustments. Consult relevant state/district resources for suggested strategies. Notes:Download from Resources
