 * 1) Identify academic content standards and language proficiency standards for the lesson
 * 2) Align language objectives to content goals
 * 3) Adapt required reading, textbook passage, and assignments to reduce their linguistic complexity
 * 4) Select supplementary materials that help bridge new content to EL’s background knowledge
 * 5) Develop differentiated, tiered activities that match EL’s language proficiency levels
 * 6) Design or select formative assessment tasks and matching assessment tools that will inform you about student progress and lesson effectiveness
 * 7) Identify essential questions that scaffold meaning and clarify information
 * 8) Using individual profiles to differentiate instruction

This process is helpful for unpacking lesson objectives. Typically the ENL or consultant teachers helps with the skill/process or the "verb" of the objective while the classroom teacher focus on the content/concept or "noun." Once objectives are unpacked they can easily be written into, "I can" statements in a language much more easily understood by the learner.
