Introduction The field of Early Care and Education (ECE) has not been exempt from today’s world of educational accountability and its accompanying push to improve academic achievement for all students. The importance of creating state Early Learning Standards (ELS) has been fueled in part by research indicating that young children, birth–5 years, have the capacity to learn more than previously thought and that early learning experiences strongly impact children’s future academic success in Grades K–12 (Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005; Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2006; Scott-Little, C., Lesko, J., Martella, J., & Milburn, P, 2007).

In 1995, the National Educational Goals Panel (NEGP) highlighted five dimensions of children’s development that are linked to school readiness and children’s later success in school: Physical Well-Being and Motor Development, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Language and Communication Development, and Cognition and General Knowledge (as cited in Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005). These dimensions include important aspects of both development and learning in young children “…with the physical, social and emotional, and approaches toward learning dimensions reflecting what are considered to be more developmental indicators and the language and cognition dimensions encompassing more ‘academic’ indicators” (p. 7, Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005). Consequently, the more academic content areas of math, science, and social studies are reflected under NEGP’s dimension of cognition and general knowledge while early literacy skills are housed under the NEGP dimension of language and communication development (as cited in Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005). Furthermore, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has stated that effective ELS not only encompass all areas of early development and learning, including physical, social, emotional, language, and cognition but also “recognize and accommodate variations” in children’s cultures and languages (NAEYC, 2009).

In an effort to outline developmentally appropriate expectations and skills that all children should know and be able to do upon entry to Kindergarten, Head Start developed and revised the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (Office of Head Start, 2015) which encompasses NEGP’s five recommended dimensions of development. States have responded in kind by developing ELS, which incorporate important attributes of NEGP’s recommended dimensions of development and learning to varying degrees (Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005; Scott-Little, Kagan, Stebbins Frelow, 2006). Nevertheless, ECE programs are only beginning to understand how to accommodate the linguistic needs of young dual language learners (DLLs, children who are still developing their home language as they acquire English) when applying state ELS to assessment, curriculum, and instruction. Unfortunately, a strong potential for inaccuracy exists when assessing, supporting, and instructing young DLLs within standards-based curriculum due in part to the disconnect between DLLs’ linguistic variations and states’ performance benchmarks/indicators in ELS (Espinosa, 2012; Scott-Little, C., Lesko, J., Martella, J., & Milburn, P, 2007).

Early English Language Development (E-ELD) StandardsThe WIDA Early English Language Development (E-ELD) Standards were specifically developed to help support the unique language needs of DLLs, ages 2.5–5.5 years, who are in the process of learning more than one language prior to Kindergarten entry. Because language learning occurs across all areas of standards-based curricula, it is critical that ECE programs use language standards in conjunction with ELS when supporting, instructing, and assessing DLLs. Using language standards along with ELS helps practitioners concretely connect the linguistic variations and needs of DLLs across all content areas of standards-based curricula and assessments. As such, language standards provide a means for helping to close the gap that currently exists in delivering accurate and relevant instruction and assessment to DLLs at varying levels of English language development within standards-based curriculum.

As WIDA developed the E-ELD Standards, it took into consideration the major dimensions of development and learning recommended by the NEGP (BUILD, 2012; Scott-Little, Kagan, & Stebbins Frelow, 2005) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC, 2009) for inclusion into ELS. These dimensions of children’s development are also represented in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (Office of Head Start, 2015) and have been adopted by states to varying degrees within their ELS. Figure A depicts the correspondence between NEGP’s recommended major dimensions of development and learning for ELS and the WIDA E-ELD Standards.

Figure A: The Correspondence Between the Five Dimensions of Children’s Development and the E-ELD Standards

The Venn diagrams shown in Figure A are an example of the overlapping nature of these dimensions of development and learning and corresponding language standards. This correspondence, also exemplified in other state ELS, makes it possible to integrate the E-ELD Standards within standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment for DLLs throughout their program day in a variety of ECE settings including child care, Head Start, preschool, and 4-year-old Kindergarten.

Using the six WIDA E-ELD Standards to inform their practice, practitioners will not find a prescriptive list of what DLLs need to know and be able to do in a particular instructional setting. Rather, language standards are generative in the sense that they help practitioners develop their own representations of how DLLs will use language in particular ECE communities. This involves connecting information about DLLs’ language development with awareness of the language demands of a learning activity, and integrating language supports to maximize DLLs’ learning and participation.

While language standards provide guidance and reference points in organizing instruction to support both learning and language development, they are only one of many factors to consider in supporting DLLs’ success in ECE settings. Figure B shows the Early English Language Development Standards.

Understanding the WIDA Standards FrameworkThe WIDA Standards Framework, depicted in Figure C, consists of a set of age-appropriate interactive and interdependent components that exemplify the WIDA vision for academic language development. This Framework is the foundation for WIDA’s work on the creation of language development standards, including the E-ELD Standards. The components are

• Can Do Philosophy• Guiding Principles of Language Development• Age-appropriate Academic Language in Sociocultural Contexts• Performance Definitions• Strands of Model Performance Indicators• Can Do Descriptors.

Figure C: A Graphical Representation of the WIDA Standards Framework

The components of the WIDA Standards Framework interact with and influence each other in the design of curricula, language instruction, and assessment of language learners. When used in tandem, the WIDA Standards Framework components help practitioners identify and understand the receptive and expressive language that DLLs need in order to meet performance benchmarks/indicators across the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five. Specific consideration has been given to the nature of early language and cognitive development, family and community-based sociocultural contexts for language learning, and the psycholinguistic nature of second language development in preschoolers who are still developing the foundational structures and rules of language. Head Start practitioners and program leaders are encouraged to emphasize specific elements of the Framework in their language instruction to fit the specific needs of individual DLLs and contexts. In doing so, all Head Start stakeholders can participate in shaping the development of our increasingly diverse population.

The following sections focus on the components of the WIDA Framework as they apply to the E-ELD Standards and their use in curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Developmentally Appropriate Academic LanguageBased in part on the WIDA Features of Academic Language for K–12, the E-ELD Features have been adapted and renamed to fit the unique characteristics of young DLLs’ developing linguistic abilities during the early preschool years. The features of social, instructional, and academic language are outlined for two language criteria: Linguistic Complexity and Language Usage. These criteria are used to define each level of English language development in the Performance Definitions. Figure D shows the Features of Developmentally Appropriate Academic Language.

• Linguistic Complexity refers to the quantity and variety of language used by DLLs at the discourse level. Language features such as the length of utterances/interactions and how DLLs understand and express their ideas are included in this category.

• Language Usage refers to the types and use of structures, phrases, and words. Some features in this language criterion are choice of intonation to convey meaning, types and variety of grammatical structures, match of language forms to purpose, specificity of word/phrase choice (vocabulary) and comprehensibility of language (forms, conventions, and fluency).

Sociocultural ContextsAll young children learn language through the context of relationships with their primary caregivers during daily routines. Through repeated social interactions with parents, siblings, extended family members, childcare providers, early childhood practitioners, and peers, children learn to interpret and construct meaning through sounds, words, phrases, and sentences. Children also learn the cultural rules and roles for social engagement associated with their particular language through these meaningful interactions with important people in their lives. The sociocultural contexts for young children’s language learning occurs most often in their homes, extended family members’ homes, or in community-based ECE settings, which may or may not be located in or associated with public schools.

The term sociocultural context has multiple definitions in education research. For its use in the E-ELD Standards Framework, WIDA defines sociocultural context as the setting in which communication occurs. Communication is shaped by the sociocultural contexts in which it takes place. The elements that define this setting within the WIDA Standards Framework include the register, the genre, the topic, the task or situation, and the participants’ identities and roles in learning.

Performance DefinitionsThe Performance Definitions shape each of the three levels of English language development using the Features of Developmentally Appropriate Language as criteria. The three language levels, which outline the progression of early English language development are: Level 1— Entering, Level 3—Developing, and Level 5—Bridging. These language levels correspond to the five WIDA levels of language proficiency for English language learners, K–12, but pertain uniquely to the stages of English language development in DLLs, ages 2.5–5.5.

The Performance Definitions describe the language that DLLs can process and produce toward the end of each level of English language development when given language supports. These definitions do not represent all the possible skills that children will demonstrate at a particular level of language development. However, they do provide concrete guidelines as to the kinds of language practitioners might expect DLLs to understand or produce; the quantity and variety of oral language (Linguistic Complexity) and the types and use of oral language structures, phrases, and words (Language Usage) at three distinct levels of English language development. The language criteria of Linguistic Complexity and Language Usage are used to define both receptive and expressive language skills for every age cluster, as shown in Figure E through Figure H.

Head Start DLLs cannot be represented through a single language development level (e.g., Level 3) or even levels for each language domain (e.g., Level 3–Receptive, Level 1–Expressive). Instead, language is fluid and often varies based on the context for language use. Therefore, the Performance Definitions are a tool to observe language performance over time and in various spaces, and we encourage Head Start practitioners to use information they collect as one of various measures for examining language development.

The Performance Definitions also recognize the key role that home language plays at all levels of English language development. DLLs will continue to use home language as they develop their new language. The dynamic interaction between languages supports meaning making and the development of metalinguistic awareness. When the development of two languages is strongly encouraged and effectively supported, DLLs use all of their cognitive and linguistic assets to become successful language learners.

In short, engaging in translanguaging enables DLLs to use their entire linguistic repertoire to navigate between languages to relate messages, construct meaning across languages, and gain a deeper understanding of content.

Standards Matrices and Strands of Model Performance IndicatorsThe standards matrices provide examples of language use across the different levels, just like the Performance Definitions. However, in the matrices, the language is further contextualized within different language domains, E-ELD Standards, and age ranges. They help Head Start practitioners envision what the E-ELD Standards Framework look like for different DLLs. A Strand of Model Performance Indicators (MPIs) consists of three language levels of early English language development for a given connection, topic, and language domain. A Strand of MPIs represents one of many possible pathways in language development within a particular context. This horizontal arrangement of a Strand of MPIs illustrates the progression of language development for a given age cluster. The Strands of MPIs provide a consistent structure for Head Start ECE practitioners to use when scaffolding or assessing DLLs’ language across a wide range of learning activities and environments. These strands are meant to be examples and not fixed guidelines of the language with which DLLs may engage during instruction and assessment. Head Start ECE practitioners can create, modify or transform Strands of MPIs to make them more relevant to their curriculum or instruction.

ECE practitioners are well aware that significant developmental differences exist between 2.5-year-olds and 5.5-year-olds, both linguistically and cognitively. Typically developing 3-year-olds (monolingual or bilingual) cannot be expected to comprehend or produce language of the same complexity as that of 5-year-olds. Therefore, the examples of language provided in the strands are organized by age clusters, which take this cognitive and linguistic threshold into account. Specific language criteria are provided for each of the following age groups:

• 2.5–3.5 years (30–42 months)• 3.5–4.5 years (43–54 months)• 4.5–5.5 years (55–66 months)

Using WIDA E-ELD Standards in Conjunction with Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five As previously mentioned, the E-ELD Standards are designed to be used in tandem with ELS to guide and inform instruction and assessment for DLLs. The E-ELD Standards matrices will make an explicit connection to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework so that they can be easily used within Head Start’s programs’ standards-based curricula, instruction, and assessment.

The following is an example of a WIDA E-ELD Standards matrix and Strand of MPIs that illustrates the Connection to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Domain Language and Literacy; Component LLC 3-4 Communicating and Speaking; Expressive Language; Subdomain: Communicating and Speaking; Goal P-LC4. Child understands, follows and uses appropriate social and conversational rules.

Figure I: Head Start Example Matrix

This standards matrix is from WIDA E-ELD Standard 2: The Language of Early Language Development and Literacy, for ages 4.5-5.5. Figure I, referred to in this document as the Head Start example matrix, shows language for DLLs who are 4.5-5.5 years old and the example topic. The example topic is the element of the standards matrix that lists a theme or concept derived from state ELS and Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and that provide a context for language development. In the example shown, the topic is conversations, which is derived from the broader Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. In Figure N, example topics connected to all Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework are provided as a resource for practitioners to use as they complete their own Standards Matrices.

In the matrix, the example context for language use refers to the particular situation, event, or context in which the communication occurs. DLLs use language in particular ways that vary according to the

context. The example context provides an authentic example for educators to be able to imagine the situation in which language is being used. In the case of the Head Start example matrix shown in Figure I, DLLs will learn about asking questions to maintain multi-turn conversations with peers. This provides us information about factors in the context that may impact how children use or process language. In this example, asking questions affords specific uses of language that are different from other settings. This context provides us with information about who will participate and the type of activity in which the participants will engage.

The Cognitive Function offers information on the cognitive demand of a particular activity. The cognitive function is a reminder to Head Start practitioners that DLLs need access to the same level of thinking as their peers regardless of their language development level. In the example shown in the Head Start matrix, all DLLs will be asked to apply their knowledge about having conversations regardless of individual linguistic abilities.

The E-ELD Standards Framework includes two language domains—receptive and expressive. These language domains, with their focus on oral language development, encompass the listening and speaking and overall meaning-making skills (e.g., gestures) DLLs will need and use across all six standards. Oral language is central to both the teaching and learning of many early literacy skills, including concepts of print, phonological and phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, alphabet knowledge and writing (Dickinson, 2011; Dickinson, Golindoff, & Hirsh-Pasek, 2010; Dickinson, McCabe, & Sprague, 2003; Dickinson & Porche, 2011). In addition, a strong foundation in oral language skills is critical for learning to read and write well in the early elementary years (Resnick & Snow, 2009). In the Head Start example matrix, the domain being addressed is the expressive domain.

Strands of Model Performance IndicatorsA Strand of MPIs consists of three language levels of early English language development for a given connection, topic, and language domain. In the example shown in the Head Start example matrix, you see how DLLs at Entering level may repeat familiar phrases to ask questions during conversations with peers, while DLLs at the Developing level may be able to name them independently. This is not to say that a DLL at the Entering level is not able to name them, but that he or she may be able to do so successfully with the help of adult models and visual supports such as pictures, signs or gestures. Similarly, a DLL at the Bridging level has enough language knowledge ask questions to maintain multi-turn conversations. Here, the linguistic expectation for understanding is higher and more complex than for naming. Head Start Practitioners can use MPI strands to (a) match performance to levels of language development, (b) create language targets and objectives that go beyond DLLs’ independent level of language development and (c) differentiate the language of the content to match the level of DLLs’ language development.

Each MPI is composed of three main elements: a language function, a content stem, and language support(s).

Language functions describe how DLLs will produce or process language within specific context for learning. In the Head Start example matrix, the MPI for Level 3, Developing, uses name as its language function. Name typically relates to nouns and verbs, and can be achieved through short phrases.

Page 21: Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth ...€¦ · Crosswalk Between Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five and WIDA Early English Language

17

Language functions are related but distinct from the cognitive complexity of a task. DLLs at all language levels can engage in higher level thinking according to their developmental capacity. Instead, the language function refers to the linguistic features associated with it. The number and complexity of language functions used increases as language develops.

The second element of the MPI is the content stem. The content stem is derived from the Example Topic, which in turn, is derived from state ELS and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. The content stem denotes WIDA’s view that early English language development should always be integrated with play-based content instruction and assessment through meaningful and authentic contexts. In the Head Start example matrix, the content stem is conversations.

The third element of the MPI is the language support(s). It is always listed at the end of the MPI and illustrates the importance of scaffolding language development for DLLs. Each MPI may contain more than one support and the supports may or may not change with increased language complexity. In the example provided in the Head Start example matrix, the supports include the use of the home language. WIDA names three categories of language supports for DLLs: sensory, graphic and interactive.

The Topic Related Language provides examples of content-related words and expressions to which all children at that age level should be exposed, regardless of their language development level, because they are part of the content being learned. Although DLLs may be at different points in their language development trajectory, when learning particular content, certain specific and technical developmentally appropriate language is essential for engaging in learning the ideas and concepts presented. Through the use of scaffolds and supports, DLLs should have the opportunity to interact with that language.

Customizing Strands for Your Local ContextThe WIDA Strands of MPIs are examples that illustrate differentiated language expectations related to content-area instruction within one language domain. We invite Head Start practitioners to create, innovate, transform, and customize the strands to best meet the needs of their students and language education programs. Figure J shows the guiding questions practitioners should ask themselves when planning instruction for emerging bilinguals or when drafting customized Strands of MPIs. Figure K contains a blank template that can be copied and reused for this purpose.

Crosswalk Between The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five and WIDA Early English Language Development StandardsThe graphic found at the end of this document, Figure N, illustrates the crosswalk between the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five and WIDA E-ELD Standards. This connection document can be used as a resource by policy makers, practitioners, specialists, educators and all stakeholders in all ECE settings in order to plan for and implement language support for their DLLS. Specifically, the standards crosswalk can be referenced as Head Start practitioners complete their own Standards Matrices and create, innovate, transform, and customize strands of model performance indicators.

In some Head Start early learning areas, WIDA E-ELD Standards connect directly with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework as seen in the Head Start Crosswalk graphic, Figure N. The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework Domains directly connect with WIDA E-ELD standards in the following learning areas: Social and Emotional Development and Language and Literacy. In some instances, however, Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework has a Domain, which does not directly connect with any of the six WIDA E-ELD standards. In order to continually focus on language development in all Head Start developmental domains and learning areas, Complementary and Integrated Strands are necessary to acknowledge and address other language-dependent aspects of standards based early learning and play.

Complementary Strands use the WIDA Standards Framework to represent critical areas of learning and language development outside of the six WIDA E-ELD Standards. The complementary strands illustrate how language development extends across Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework Domains. For example, in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework Approaches to Learning Domain and Health, Safety and Nutrition Subdomain, Head Start practitioners could create a complementary strand for the Language of Health, Safety and Nutrition.

Here is a list of some sample complementary strands included in the Head Start Crosswalk.

Figure L: List of Sample Complementary Strands

Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five

WIDA E-ELD Standards: Complementary Strands

Example Topics

Developmental Domain: Approaches to Learning; Sub-domain: Cognitive Self-Regulation (Executive Functioning); P-ALT5. Child demonstrates the ability to control impulses.

Complementary Strand: The Language of Self-Regulation

Focused attention; Persistence; Self-awareness

Developmental Domain: Cognition; Sub-domain: Imitation and Symbolic Representation and Play; IT-C 12. Child uses objects or symbols to represent something else.

Complementary Strand: The Language of Cognition

Mental representation; Imitation

Page 25: Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth ...€¦ · Crosswalk Between Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five and WIDA Early English Language

21

Integrated Strands provide a way for representing the WIDA E-ELD Standards in which age clusters, language domains, and standards are combined in different configurations. For example, in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework area of Cognition, an Integrated Strand of Model Performance Indicators could be created by first integrating Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework Goal IT-C 7: Child uses reasoning and planning ahead to solve problems with WIDA E-ELD Standard 4: The Language of Science.

Here is a list of some sample Integrated Strands included in the Head Start Crosswalk.

Figure M: List of Sample Integrated Strands

Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five

WIDA E-ELD Standards: Integrated Strands

Example Topics

Developmental Domain: Cognition: Sub-domain: Memory: IT-C 3. Child recognizes differences between familiar and unfamiliar people, objects actions, or events.

Integrated Strand: The Language of Social Studies: Dual language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Social Studies

Families; Similarities/differences between self and others

Developmental Domain: Cognition: Sub-domain: Reasoning and Problem Solving: IT-C 7. Child uses reasoning and planning to solve problems.

Integrated Strand: The Language of Science: Dual language learners communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Science

Inquiry; Problem solving

As noted earlier, we invite Head Start Early Childhood practitioners and specialists to customize their own Complementary and Integrated Strands of Model Performance Indicators using the crosswalk between Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and WIDA E-ELD Standards as an initial resource. In doing so, Head Start will ensure consistent language support and instruction for all DLLs.
