Can Do Descriptors

WIDA Can Do Descriptors Overview

Can Do Descriptors are a tool to help us identify skills English Learner (EL) students can accomplish at their various levels of English development. By using the Can Do Descriptors, we can work with language learners in an academic environment as we meet them where they are and challenge them to learn and grow, expanding their English and grade level academic knowledge across different contents and social emotional areas within the school.
