12 Key Practices Checklist

Administrators, teachers, and leadership team members can use this Checklist when they are 1) reviewing their current instructional programs for ELLs, 2) assessing program and professional development needs, 3) monitoring implementation, 4) evaluating program effectiveness, and 5) restructuring programs.

12 Key Practices Framework

This downloadable pdf file includes the Wagner & King (2010) Key Practice 1 framework that structures their book. The framework is divided into four parts: 1) Shared Practices at the District, School, and Classroom Levels; 2) Common Classroom Practices for All ELL Educators; 3) Core Instructional Practices of Every Program for ELLs; and 4) Organizing the Key Practices into Effective Program Configurations. The 12 Key Practices checklist is aligned with this framework.
