WIDA Can Do Descriptors 
help teachers know what each student's strengths are, what they Can Do.

Quick tip!
 
Your ELLs may interact well with classmates
but be floundering academically.
BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills)
may be learned quickly.
However, CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency)
may take 5 to 10 years to acquire.
If your students are unable to understand your language arts
or social studies lessons,
they have acquired BIC skills but lack CALP.
