ELPS Toolkit (Spiral-Bound)

The ELPS Toolkit is the industry standard for empowering teachers to integrate the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) when planning lessons and delivering instruction to students acquiring English.

Teachers using this resource will notice it is both user-friendly and comprehensive, giving teachers the opportunity to build expertise in serving students acquiring English. The toolkit includes:

• A listing of the ELPS complete with Proficiency Level Descriptors to help teachers identify the language levels of individual Emergent Bilinguals.
• Tools for lesson development and strategies designed to help students acquire academic language.
• Links to video showcasing teachers moving theory to practice.
• Guidelines for integrating the 7 major components of sheltered instruction.

To maximize effectiveness, pair the Toolkit with the ELPS Observation Guide to help keep teachers and administrators on the same page.
