English Language Development (ELD) instruction is designed specifically to advance English learners' (ELs) knowledge and use of English in increasingly sophisticated ways. In the context of the larger effort to help English learners succeed in school, ELD instruction is designed to help them learn and acquire English to a level of proficiency (e.g., proficient) that maximizes their capacity to engage successfully in academic studies taught in English. this presentation will answer the question of why school districts are required to provide ELD services and explain what ELD is and how districts are supposed to provide this service to Els. Additionally, participants will be given guidance for how to monitor and adjust ELD instruction in order to make sure each EL is on track to proficiency based on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Arkansas State Plan.
