  • EL STANDARDS
     
    The WIDA ELD Standards work along with content standards to ensure students engage in the learning of the content standards as they continue to develop English.  You may also find resources under our EL page on Lincoln County Schools website.  Please share with your teachers.
     

    The North Carolina English Language Development Standard Course of Study (NC ELD SCoS) is the WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards (approved by the State Board of Education June 5, 2008). North Carolina is part of the WIDA Consortium for ELD Standards and Assessment. These standards represent the social, instructional and academic language students use to engage with peers, educators and the curriculum in schools.
