    Learning Outcome Pedagogical Intent Student Position

    Articulate knowledge and skills to construct learning environments that support development of English language proficiency: literacy, academic, and cognitive development. (footnote language and definition)

    Assessment: 25 pts.

    TA: 20 Minutes

    Teachers can integrate and then  articulate their knowledge of supporting ELs content learning, ability to access knowledge from text and their development as readers.

    Students have identified units and lessons they would like to make more attentive to developing their own students' content knowledge and literacy development. They have learned about academic language development, assessment, language acquisition, and building on the academic, background and cultural knowledge students bring to learning. They have learned to assess the literacy development of Els and identify next steps in their language and literacy development.
