1 Write a “Wikipedia” type definition of the ELPS that you feel clarifies their key intent, elements, and principles – in other words, a definition that could clarify thinking in your school/classroom. 2 Explain to a teacher new to the field what the ELPS are in terms of what s/he would be doing in the classroom – and why. The explanation should help the candidate develop a clear picture of what the ELPS look like in the classroom. 3 Develop a metaphor, analogy, or visual symbol – even a logo – that you think represents and clarifies what’s important to understand about the ELPS key intent, elements, and principles.
