What is the bigger picture?

• Treat CELDT in similar fashion to CST (testing environment, letters to parents, bell schedules, attendance incentives)

• Our students take the test as seriously as we do

• Focus not just on preparing for this test, but building academic vocabulary through targeted ELD and content-based ELD

Quality instruction is the best preparation for any test
