Abstract
English Learners need academic language support to reach proficiency in both language and content standards. In a school where there is a high number of English Learner (EL) students, considerations for teaching language and content simultaneously throughout the school day need to be made. Co-teaching with EL teachers as well as creating academic language objectives across the curriculum and building an understanding of the WIDA 2020 language standards for all teachers can help EL students make progress toward grade level standards. This capstone poses the question, How can content and language standards be integrated throughout the curriculum to maximize EL student achievement in all subject areas? The capstone project that resulted from research into this question is a series of three professional development sessions focusing on co-teaching and writing academic language objectives to accompany content objectives.
