WIDA Standards
• Expand to Content Teachers
• Need to build greater capacity
– Tie into existing initiatives
– Use what is available
– ASK! Sometimes they say YES!
WIDA National Conference 2014
Why is building capacity so important?• English language learners have to learn more material in
less time than any other group of students.
• Addressing the needs of English language learners is complex.
• The North Carolina Standard Course of Study in conjunction with the WIDA Standards provide an unprecedented opportunity to meet the needs of all students who struggle with language development, and to help all students master academic language through rigorous and appropriate instruction.
