Section 11300. Definitions
(a) βDesignated English Language Developmentβ means instruction provided during a time set aside in the regular school day for focused instruction on the state-adopted English language development (ELD) standards to assist English learners to develop critical English language skills necessary for academic content learning in English.
Ideally, students are grouped for designated ELD by English language proficiency levels (Emerging, Expanding, Bridging), although schools need to consider their particular student population (e.g., number of ELs at each proficiency level) and make appropriate decisions about grouping. English language development instruction ensures that ELs use English purposefully; interact in meaningful ways with peers, content, and texts; and learn about how English works
Integrated ELD is defined as instruction in which the state-adopted ELD standards are used in tandem with the state-adopted academic content standards. Integrated ELD includes specifically designed academic instruction in English. (5 CCR Section 11300[c]).
The following is stated in 5 CCR Section 11309(c)(1) regarding programs for English learners:
βAny language acquisition program provided by a local educational agency (LEA) shall:
(1) Be designed using evidence-based research and include both designated and integrated ELD.β
Designated and Integrated ELD instruction are also components of Tier I instruction for all English learners under the Multi-Tiered System of Supports and incorporate the principles of Universal Design for Learning.
Many resources are available to support Designated and Integrated ELD instruction, including the following:
