Since I am doing my service learning in an English Immersion Program I see more evidence of standards for English. I know that one day during class the teacher I work for told her students and gave them examples of what she expected from them when it came to their quality of writing, or for their speech, because of what they've already learned from first grade and from their current school year so far. Then later that same day she addressed some standards that I remembered reading from our module on standards and accountability such as being able to identify the main purpose of text (Reading: informational text standard 6) and on capitalization, punctuation, and spelling (Language Standard 2).
There is definitely more emphasis on the English standards. English is only taught because the class I am in focuses solely on English for half the day until the class switches teachers and then focus on the other subjects, such as math, for the last half of the day with a different teacher. I think this is for students to better get the help and attention that they need for each subject by having two teachers who work with them each day on different subjects and meet the standards.
