The state of Missouri and the School District of Clayton have adopted the WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards. These represent the social, instructional, and academic language that English learners need to engage with peers, school staff, and the school curriculum. The WIDA standards include examples of how language is processed or produced within a particular context through Model Performance Indicators (MPIs). These can be viewed or downloaded from the WIDA Resource Library. Listed below are the Clayton ELD learning targets for each grade cluster, and the WIDA Can-Do's, or descriptors of what learners can do at each proficiency level.
