Collection: ELPS field guides
Planning meaningful language instruction just got a whole lot easier. ELPS Field Guides help teachers, PLCs, coaches, and leaders quickly internalize the new ELPS and Proficiency Level Descriptors (PLDs) while planning meaningful instruction that supports both language development and grade-level content learning.
No more hunting through multiple documents to plan for English learners. These Field Guides bring together ELPS standards with plain-language demands, instructional implications, language scaffolds, entry points into the learning, proficiency-level descriptors, and ready-to-use instructional strategies all in one place. Every strategy includes built-in language supports differentiated from Pre-Production through Advanced, so teachers can meet students exactly where they are.
Organized by grade bands (K-3 and 4-12) and by general and content-area PLDs, these guides are designed to be used in PLC conversations, lesson planning, and coaching cycles, not just pulled out for compliance.
