Integrated ELD
Designated ELD
• Content standards as
focal standards
• ELD Standards as a
language guide
• ELD Standards as focal
standards
• Lesson builds into and
from content standards
Ex: teacher plans a social
science lesson based on
content, using SS text,
also uses ELD Standards
to provide strategic
language support for ELs
in the class
Ex: teacher plans a lesson
that specifically focuses
on the language of the SS
text (ex: cohesion,
nomalization) with just
the EL students
Integrated ELD and SDAIE
SDAIE
Content instruction
• Cell biology, label
the cell and its parts
Integrated ELD
Language focus to
access content
• Analysis of cell
biology text that
explains or
describes the
function as well as
how it relates to
other science ideas
Snapshots for Instruction of
Core subjects and ELD in Action
Be prepared to share out what was covered in
your snapshot. What were some new ideas that
you encountered that you could share with the
group? How does this support your
understanding of Integrated and Designated
ELD?
Which idea from the framework is
most revolutionary to you?
• ELA and ELD are in the same document.
• Biliteracy is recognized as a precious resource
that should be encouraged.
• Listenting, Speaking, Reading and Writing are
to be integrated.
• Heritage Language and culture are viewed as
assets.
• The ELA and the ELD Standards are to be used
together.
The Bottom Line:
 Students learn content through literacy and
language.
 Students learn language engaging with content.
 Students learn more about content by learning about
how language works in the content area.
 Both content-aligned ELD and language-rich
content teaching and learning are needed.
Recommendations:
Framework rollouts from
CDE in San Diego
(December), San Mateo
(January) and Fresno
(February).
School sites and PLCs are
encouraged to start their
investigations of the
framework by reading
Chapter 2 as well as their
grade level chapter.
