Abstract: This document is the second in a series of working papers that elaborate on a framework of four key stages in moving toward a common definition of English learner (EL), as described in the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) publication, "Toward a 'Common Definition of English Learner': Guidance for States and State Assessment Consortia in Defining and Addressing Policy and Technical Issues and Options" (Linquanti & Cook 2013). This working paper addresses a key aspect of the CCSSO guidance document's third stage--defining an "English proficient" performance standard. It presents a set of Reference Performance Level Descriptors developed as a result of guidance provided at a national working session of state and consortium representatives, experts, and stakeholders held on September 17, 2013 at the Washington, D.C. offices of CCSSO. An appendix contains a list of participants and the institutions they represented.
