The Louisiana Department of Education is committed to provide families of EL students with the tools and resources they need to support learning at home, and will translate all parent facing materials into Spanish, Vietnamese and Arabic.
The new set of English Language Proficiency (ELP) Connectors developed for K, 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12 grades, highlight and amplify the critical language, knowledge about language, and skills using language that are aligned to Louisiana Student Standards and that are necessary for English learners (ELs) to be successful in schools.
The 10 Connectors (expectations) highlight a strategic set of language functions (what students do with language to accomplish content-specific tasks) and language forms (vocabulary, grammar, and discourse specific to a particular content area or discipline) which are needed by ELs as they develop competence in the practices associated with English language arts (ELA) & literacy, mathematics, and science. The five English Language Proficiency (ELP) levels for each of the Connectors address the question, “What might an EL’s language use look like at each ELP level as he or she progresses toward independent participation in grade-appropriate activities?”
