• The school-aged population is becoming increasingly diverse.

• Science achievement gaps persist.

• Academically rigorous standards and assessments are expected of all students in English language arts, math, and science.

How Language Develops

• Rich contexts – desire and opportunity to engage and contribute

• Multiple opportunities to hear and use (language)

• Appropriate supports

• Acceptance of “flawed” language

Page 12: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

How Science Understanding Develops• Rich contexts – desire and opportunity to

engage and contribute

• Multiple opportunities to hear and use (science ideas)

• Appropriate supports

• Acceptance of “flawed” language; for example non-scientific language

Page 13: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

Promoting Both Science and Language Learning for ELLs• ELs learn academic content as they participate

in classroom discourse

• ELs learn language as they engage with academic content

• Focusing on both text and discourse gives ELs opportunities for extended engagement with complex ideas

Page 14: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

Disciplinary Practices in CCSS and NGSS

• Raise the bar for content (academically rigorous)

• Raise the bar for language (language intensive)

• Call for a high level of classroom discourse (oral and written) across all content areas for all students

Premise: what students do with language as they engage in content area learning

Page 15: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

Disciplinary Practices:From a Content Perspective

Topic 3:Content and Language

How can teachers promote CCSS and NGSS while supporting language development for ELLs?

Page 27: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

Development 1:Science and Language in Relation to NGSS

• This article introduced the conceptual framework for language use in the science classroom as students engage in language-intensive science and engineering practices.

• When students, especially ELLs, are adequately supported to “do” specific things with language, both science learning and language learning are promoted.

Small Group Activity

1. Form a small group of 3 or 4 members.2. Select one disciplinary practice from the CCSS

for ELA/literacy, CCSS for math, or NGSS.3. Unpack this practice in terms of (a) analytical

tasks and (b) receptive and language functions.4. Share your group work with the whole group.

Page 34: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

Development 2:English Language Proficiency Development (ELPD) Framework

• To communicate to ELL stakeholders in states the language practices that ELLs must acquire for academic learning in CCSS and NGSS and for second language acquisition more generally

• To provide guidance to states on how to use the expectations of the CCSS and NGSS as tools to create and evaluate ELP/ELD standards

Page 39: Next Generation Science Standards  and  Common Core:  Engaging English Language Learners

English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards

1. Construct meaning from oral presentations and literary and informational text through grade-appropriate listening, reading, and viewing

2. Participate in grade-appropriate oral and written exchanges of information, ideas, and analyses, responding to peer, audience, or reader comments and questions

3. Speak and write about grade-appropriate complex literary and informational texts and topics

4. Construct grade-appropriate oral and written claims and support them with reasoning and evidence

5. Conduct research and evaluate and communicate findings to answer questions or solve problems

6. Analyze and critique the arguments of others orally and in writing7. Adapt language choices to purpose, task, and audience when speaking

and writing8. Determine the meaning of words and phrases in oral presentations and

literary and informational text9. Create clear and coherent grade-appropriate speech and text10.Make accurate use of standard English to communicate in grade-

appropriate speech and writing

Development 4:ELPD Framework: Teacher’s Guide to the Science and Math Resources

• To develop and validate a teacher’s guide that explains how the resources within the ELPD Framework can be used to generate classroom materials and design learning activities that support ELs’ engagement with NGSS and CCSS math

Development 5:Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)

• Kenji Hakuta: “Constructive Classroom Conversations: Mastering Language for the Common Core State Standards”

• This MOOC enablse teachers to promote constructive classroom discourse as students, especially ELLs, engage in the CCSS

• Plans are under way to offer further MOOCs, including one on science classroom discourse in the context of the NGSS

• As part of course assignments, the initial MOOC collected a large volume of teacher-recorded and transcribed samples of classroom discourse submitted by participants throughout the nation

Take Home Messages• High academic rigor through the NGSS for all

students, including ELLs

• Both language demands and learning opportunities through the NGSS for all students, including ELLs

• A new set of teachers’ knowledge and practices to enable all students, particularly ELLs, learn science according to the NGSS
