Our English Language Learners come to us with a wide variety of features in their background, all of which have a strong influence on their performance in the classroom. Their level of English language proficiency is critical among these features in how they access their education, and is key to providing successful scaffolding and differentiation. Discover how to leverage this information along with language proficiency descriptor tools for an asset-based approach to instruction. Investigate resources for scaffolding to guide your planning.
