ELL teacher displays partial knowledge of the developmental characteristics of the age group. ELL teacher displays accurate understanding of the typical developmental characteristics of the age group, as well as exceptions to the general patterns. In addition to accurate knowledge of the typical developmental characteristics of the age group and exceptions to the general patterns, ELL teacher displays knowledge of the extent to which individual ELL students follow the general patterns. ELL teacher sees no value in understanding how ELL students learn and does not seek such information. ELL teacher recognizes the value of knowing how ELL students learn, but this knowledge is limited or outdated. ELL teacher s knowledge of how ELL students learn is accurate and current. ELL teacher applies this knowledge to the class as a whole and to groups of ELL students. ELL teacher displays extensive and subtle understanding of how ELL students learn and applies this knowledge to individual ELL students. ELL teaching strategies are carried out by rote and lessons are designed with a one size fits all approach. The ELL teacher may use different strategies, but they are used with little thought about their effectiveness in helping ELL students learn the material. The ELL teacher may use different strategies that take into account different learning styles or multiple intelligences. ELL teacher s use of various strategies is effective in helping ELL students learn the material. The ELL teacher attempts to meet the needs of all ELL students in the class, by differentiating whenever and wherever possible. The ELL teacher is passive in the development of appropriate accommodations and sometimes fails to carry out recommended modifications or accommodations. The ELL teacher is passive in the development of appropriate accommodations and modifications. The ELL teacher works with the classroom teacher and/or other educational specialist to develop appropriate accommodations and modifications.

The ELL teacher is able to adjust the plan on the spot in order to make information more accessible. ELL teacher is unaware of resources for ELL students available through the school or district. ELL teacher displays awareness of resources for ELL students available through the school or district but no knowledge of resources available more broadly. ELL teacher displays awareness of resources for ELL students available through the school or district and some familiarity with resources external to the school and on the Internet. ELL teacher s knowledge of resources for ELL students is extensive, including those available through the school or district, in the community, and on the Internet.

Materials and resources are not suitable for ELL ELL students and do not support the instruction or engage ELL students in meaningful learning. Only some of the learning activities are suitable to meet ELL students instructional needs. Some represent a moderate cognitive challenge, but with no differentiation for LEP or NEP ELL students. All of the learning activities are suitable to meet ELL students instructional needs, and most represent significant cognitive challenge, with some differentiation for different groups of ELL students such as LEP and NEP ELL students. Learning activities are highly suitable to diverse learner s instructional needs. They are all designed to engage ELL students in high-level cognitive activity and are differentiated, as appropriate, for individual learners such as LEP and NEP ELL students. Some of the materials and resources All of the materials and resources are suitable to ELL students, support are suitable to ELL students, support the instruction, and are intended to the instruction, and are intended to engage ELL students in meaningful engage ELL students in meaningful learning. learning. All of the materials and resources are suitable to ELL students, support the instruction, and are intended to engage ELL students in meaningful learning. There is evidence of appropriate use of technology and of ELL student participation in selecting or adapting materials. ELL Lesson and unit structure The lesson or unit has no clearly defined structure, or the structure is chaotic. Activities do not follow an organized progression, and time allocations are unrealistic. The lesson or unit has a recognizable structure, although the structure is not uniformly maintained throughout. Progression of activities is uneven in complexity, with most time allocations reasonable. (Example: easy to harder, simple to complex, one domain to another) The lesson or unit has a clearly defined structure around which activities are organized. Progression of activities is even, with reasonable time allocations. (Progression of activities is even: moving from simple to complex and including more than one learning style with reasonable time allocations.) The lesson s or unit s structure is clear and allows for different pathways according to diverse ELL student needs. The progression of activities is highly coherent.
