The document discusses how Model Performance Indicators (MPIs) are organized within standards. MPIs provide examples of language skills, reflect the second language acquisition process, describe how students can use language, and relate to academic language criteria. They serve as anchors for curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The content stem helps relate language instruction to grade-level content standards. Support or strategies that can be used with MPIs include visuals, graphics, interactions, scaffolding language and concepts, use of other languages, and elements appropriate for instruction or assessment.
