Introduction
Introduction ESL Planning Guide Grade 4 Quarter 2 In 2014, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education adopted a set of ambitious, yet attainable goals for school and student performance. The District is committed to these goals, as further described in our strategic plan, Destination 2025. By 2025, 80% of our students will graduate from high school college or career ready90% of students will graduate on time100% of our students who graduate college or career ready will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity. 1289050135763000In order to achieve these ambitious goals, ESL teachers must collectively work with general education teachers to provide our students with a sound foundation in the English language as well as high-quality, College and Career Ready standards-aligned instruction. Acknowledging the need to develop competence in literacy and language as the foundations for all learning, Shelby County Schools developed the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP). The CLIP ensures a quality balanced literacy approach to instruction that results in high levels of literacy learning for all students, across content areas. Language and literacy development is recognized as a shared responsibility of all of a student’s teachers. Destination 2025 and the CLIP establish common goals and expectations for student learning across schools and are the underpinning for the development of the ESL curriculum planning guides. Designed with the teacher in mind, the ESL curriculum planning guides focus on literacy teaching and learning, which include the development of foundational skills and instruction in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. This planning guide presents a framework for organizing instruction around WIDA Standards, grade-level content, and the TN State Standards (CCR) so that every ELL student acquires English and develops literacy skills that will enable him or her to meet or exceed requirements for college and career readiness. The standards define what to teach within specific grade bands, and this planning guide provides guidelines and research-based approaches for implementing instruction to ensure students achieve their highest potentials. A standards-?‐based curriculum, performance-?‐based learning and assessments, and high quality instruction are at the heart of the ESL Curriculum guides. ESL teachers will use this guide and the standards as a road map for English Language Development. The Newcomer/Readiness curriculum provides additional guidance and resources for new immigrant students and those with interruptions in formal education. Newcomer/Readiness materials are designed for use in the first 6 to 9 weeks of enrollment. 12890507112000How to Use the Curriculum Planning GuidesOur collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. This will require a comprehensive, integrated approach to literacy instruction that ensures that students become college and career ready readers, writers, and communicators. To achieve this, students must receive literacy instruction aligned to each of the elements of effective literacy program seen in the figure to the right. To enhance ELL access to instructional tasks requiring complex thinking match the linguistic complexity and instructional support to thestudents’ level of proficiency. (Gottlieb, Katz, and Ernst-Slavit 2009)This curriculum guide is designed to help teachers make effective decisions about what literacy content to teach and how to teach it so that, ultimately, our students can reach Destination 2025. To reach our collective student achievement goals, we know that teachers must change their instructional practice in alignment the with the three College and Career Ready shifts in instruction for ELA/Literacy. We should see these three shifts in all SCS literacy classrooms:Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.Additional time, appropriate instructional support, and aligned assessments will be needed as ELL acquire both English language proficiency and content area knowledge. The TN Standards for Foundational Skills should be used in conjunction with this guide.

Standards 2– 5 address the language of the content-driven classroom and of textbooks, which typically is characterized by a more formal register and a specific way of communicating (e.g., academic vocabulary, specific syntactic structures, and characteristic organizational patterns and conventions). Throughout this curriculum guide, teachers will see high-quality texts that students should be reading, as well as some resources and tasks to support teachers in ensuring that students are able to reach the demands of the standards in the classroom. In addition to the resources embedded in the map, there are some high-leverage resources around each of the three shifts that teachers should consistently access:The TNCore Literacy StandardsThe TNCore Literacy Standards (also known as the College and Career Ready Literacy Standards): HYPERLINK "" \h pxTeachers can access the TNCore standards, which are featured throughout this curriculum map and represent college and career ready student learning at each respective grade level.Shift 1: Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic LanguageStudent Achievement Partners Text Complexity Collection: HYPERLINK "" \h complexity-collectionTeachers can learn more about how to select complex texts (using quantitative, qualitative, and reader/task measures) using the resources in this collection.Student Achievement Partners Academic Work Finder: word-finderTeachers can copy and paste a text into this tool, which then generates the most significant Tier 2 academic vocabulary contained within the text.Shift 2: Reading, Writing and Speaking Grounded in Evidence from the TextStudent Achievement Partners Text-Dependent Questions Resources: dependent-question-resourcesTeachers can use the resources in this set of resources to craft their own text- dependent questions based on their qualitative and reader/task measures text complexity analysis.Shift 3: Building Knowledge through Content-Rich Non-fictionStudent Achievement Partners Text Set Projects Sequenced: project-sequenced-under-constructionTeachers can use this resource to learn about how to sequence texts into “expert packs” to build student knowledge of the world.Additional ESL Resources:Additional ESL Resources:Shelby County ESL weebly: HYPERLINK "" \h password: SCS-?‐ESLWIDA: wida.us See: Download libraryNorth Carolina Transformed MPIs provide excellent examples of how the CCR standards may be broken down to align with WIDA ACCESS student ability levels.
