WIDA Can Do Descriptors

WIDA Can Do Descriptors are very helpful when creating language objectives. The WIDA Can Do Descriptors show where and what an ELL student is capable of doing. For example, if a student is on a level 1, Entering, the student may point to pictures or answers. These Can Do Descriptors show where a student is, and where and what is needed to push them to the next level. These also help identify modifications a student may need. They include many domains, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There are many practical applications that can be used with these Can Do Descriptors. For example, you can identify the student's level and incorporate it into your lesson plans when differentiating and making modifications.
