Module 2: Standards
Module Agenda• Review the connections between Tier 1 Best Practices,
Colorado Academic Standards (CAS), SVVSD unit plans, and Colorado English Language Proficiency (CELP)/WIDA standards
• Explore how CAS, CELP/WIDA standards and PARCC language expectations impact content area writing instruction
• Create writing tasks for a content lesson that address content language expectations
Objectives
• Teachers will explore how academic language expectations impact content area writing (ACCESS, PARCC) using rubrics, assessment sample items, and CELP standards
• Teachers will create writing tasks that address content area language expectations with Tier 1 SIOP strategy supports
Tier 1 Best Practices Focus
Content Area Writing Instruction
What does content area writing look like in your classroom?
What are PARCC and ACCESS content area writing expectations?
Step 1
• Examine the WIDA writing rubric for academic language demands and expectations
Resources:WIDA
• WIDA 1-12 Writing Rubric
Optional Resources
● WIDA Features of Academic Language Rubric
● WIDA Speaking and Writing Performance Definitions
● ACCESS Sample Items
● PARCC Summative Sample Items (select ELA or Math items by grade level along left column)
● PARCC Math Prototype Sample Items (select items by grade level along left column-then scroll across about task menu)
● Engage NY Common Core sample questions
ACCESS Sample Content Area Writing Task
Write a well organized paragraph comparing and contrasting Alicia's heart rate during these three activities.
What are the academic language demands and expectations?
PARCC SampleContent Area Writing Task
What are the academic language demands and expectations?
Step 2
• Identify language needed to access content and demonstrate content learning in your SVVSD unit plan and curriculum

for writing descriptors)
o 9-12
• Depth of Knowledge Levels
