NC ELD Standards Resource Hub Updated
The NCDPI ESL/Title III Team has created the NC ELD Standards Resource Hub. This repository will house all the resources for supporting school administrators, all teachers of English learners, and EL families/caregivers during the implementation of the adopted Standard Course of Study. The range of resources offers users an opportunity to determine their own specific needs and find materials that suit them.
*NEW DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE*
- a NC-Specific ELD Standards Framework Document
- a Glossary defining acronyms and terms related to the NC ELD Standard Course of Study and the NCDPI ESL/Title III Program
- a Crosswalk illustrating the variance between the 2012 NC ELD Standard Course of Study and the adopted 2020 NC ELD Standard Course of Study *NEW*
- an Unpacking Document with clarifications and explanations for the NC ELD Standards, Key Language Uses, and Language Expectations *NEW*
- a Mapping Document connecting the NC ELD Standard Course of Study to other content areas' Standard Course of Study *NEW*
- Parent/Caregiver Guide to assist caregivers in supporting their students' learning outside of school *COMING SOON*
The ELD Standards Resource Hub has been designed in Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) and can be accessed with or without a Canvas account.

*Note: While the NCDPI ESL/Title III Team encourages PSUs to attend PD on the date(s) that fit their PSU's profiles, we understand that PSUs may need to select date(s) outside of these recommendations due to their teams' availability.
In preparation for this PD, the NCDPI ESL/Title III Team invites PSUs to identify team members to attend. The NCDPI ESL/Title III strongly recommends each PSU implementation team be comprised of the following stakeholders:
- 1 EL Coordinator
- 1 Instructional Coach
- 1 Content Teacher
- 1 ESL Teacher

- 1 Parent Liaison
The NCDPI ESL/Title III Team strongly suggests PSU Teams notify their district or school leadership of those who plan to attend.
