English Language Development - Content Standards
This page is offered as a courtesy public service announcement regarding state
standards. ESL/Intensive English Programs at Wilshire Private School far exceed
state standards.
The English–Language Arts Content Standards for California Public Schools (1998)
and the Reading/Language Arts Framework for California Public Schools (1999), both
adopted by the State Board of Education, define what all students in California,
including students learning English as a second language, are expected to know and
be able to do. The English-language development (ELD) standards are designed to
supplement the English–language arts content standards to ensure that limited-English
proficient (LEP) students (now called English learners in California) develop proficiency
in both the English language and the concepts and skills contained in the English–language
arts content standards.
