What does Common Core say about ELLs? �“ELLs who are literate in a first language that shares cognates with English can apply first-language vocabulary knowledge when reading in English; likewise ELLs with high levels of schooling can often bring to bear conceptual knowledge developed in their first language when reading in English. …However, ELLs with limited or interrupted schooling will need to acquire background knowledge prerequisite to educational tasks at hand. ” Application of Common Core Standards for ELLs

What do CCSS mean for ELLs? � “It is unreasonable to expect ELLS to perform comparably to their native Englishspeaking peers in their initial years of schooling …The problem enters when students are not pushed to go beyond this stage over time, are presumed to be at an elementary level, or are misdiagnosed as having educational disabilities by teachers unfamiliar with the needs of ELLs”. Joseph Laturnau, 2001 20
