TK/K English Language Development Videos
This page provides videos demonstrating integrated English language development (ELD) instruction and designated ELD instruction for English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science in transitional kindergarten/kindergarten (TK/K) classrooms.ELD Video Series Home | Guidance | Integrated and Designated ELD with Science Videos | ELD with Science Accompanying Resources | Integrated and Designated ELD with ELA Videos | ELD with ELA Accompanying Resources | Integrated and Designated ELD with Math Videos | ELD with Math Accompanying Resources
The videos in this series show teachers teaching TK-K English learner (EL) students the features and functions of English and how they can use the language to access grade-level content. The kindergarten California English Language Development Standards (CA ELD Standards) are used as the focal standards to design intentional and purposeful designated ELD instruction, using the content standards to support the instruction. Kindergarten content standards are used as the focal standards to design rigorous, grade-level appropriate integrated ELD instruction, using the CA ELD Standards to support the instruction. The teachers lead students to make meaning of the academic content by providing opportunities for them to apply their learned language and linguistic resources, contribute to academic discussions with their peers and teachers, engage with grade-appropriate text, and write to demonstrate understanding.
