Title: Keeping the Rigor High for ELs
Body:
From: https://www.empoweringells.com/expectations/
This blog entry details how teachers can create meaningful learning for students at all levels in their language learning. It encourages teachers to identify the thinking required in a task, identify what ELs can do, and then create can-do opportunities. This allows language learning to be more than memorization or highly simplified. It pushes students to do higher level thinking in their second language. While this resource speaks directly about ELs, it can be applied to any language learning context.
