The English Language Proficiency Standard Course of Study (ELP SCS) describes what limited English proficient students should know and be able to do at each level of proficiency along the K-12 continuum.

The SCS will also assist classroom teachers in modifying instruction in the content areas to match the English language proficiency levels of their students
