Framework for High-Quality English Language Proficiency Standards and Assessments

This framework, its accompanying brief, and the one-page overview of criteria were conceived as critical tools for states to use in their efforts to ensure that their English language learner (ELL) students achieve English language proficiency (ELP) at high levels academically. Building on the best knowledge from relevant research and practice, the framework provides criteria for high-quality ELP standards and aligned assessments.
