TLDR
This article identified key features of the language of the science classroom as students engage in these language-intensive science and engineering practices and highlighted implications for Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.Abstract:
The National Research Council (2011) released “A Framework for K–12 Science Education” that is guiding the development of the Next Generation Science Standards, which are expected to be finalized in early 2013. This article addresses language demands and opportunities that are embedded in the science and engineering practices delineated in the Framework. By examining intersections between learning of science and learning of language, the article identifies key features of the language of the science classroom as students engage in these language-intensive science and engineering practices. We propose that when students, especially English language learners, are adequately supported to “do” specific things with language, both science learning and language learning are promoted. We highlight implications for Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.read more

Cognitive Language and Content Standards: Language Inventory of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards
TL;DR: The authors examined how terms within the CCSSM and the NGSS are used and aligned by addressing the following research questions: (1) What common terminology is found across CCSSm and NGSS? (2) How does the terminology between the CCSM and NGS compare to one another? (3) How do the cognitive terms found in CCSSC and NGSC change across grade bands?

TL;DR: This paper examined in-service teachers' transformed perspectives and practices for educating emergent bilinguals resulting from graduate study in a bilingual education graduate program in Chicago and found that teacher preparation in bilingual education (1) prepared and empowered teachers to meet the academic, social, and cultural-linguistic needs of emergent learners in their classrooms and (2) fostered a conscious inner transformation in teachers that resulted in new ways and purposes of interacting with learners, their families, and colleagues.
