Grade Level Expectations (GLEs)An Introduction
16
What Are Grade Level Expectations?

• GLEs define what all students should know or be
  able to do at the end of a given grade level
  (mastery)
• GLEs further define content standards and
  benchmarks

17
GLEs Are Not

• Curriculum
• Inclusive of everything that should be covered in
  a grade

18
Purpose of the GLEs
EQ

• To meet the requirements of NCLB which mandated
  all states develop grade-by-grade standards
• To guide the development of curriculum,
  instruction and assessment in the four core
  content areas in LA schools
• To provide uniformity in core content taught
  across the state

19
GLE Development Process

• Drafted by committees of LA educators
• Informed by national consultants
• Evaluated by teacher focus groups
• Reviewed by the public and external content
  experts
• Revised by the committees
• Approved by the BESE

20
How are the GLEs Related to Standards and
Benchmarks?

• Grade Level Expectations
• further define and provide a progression of
  specificity to benchmarks for grade levels
• PreK-12.

21
How Are the GLEs Related toStandards and
Benchmarks?

• Content standards
• represent the broad, general goals that describe
  what students should know and be able to do.

22
How Are the GLEs Related toStandards and
Benchmarks?

• Benchmarks
• are more specific statements of what all students
  should know and be able to do that are written
  for specific grade clusters.
• further define the
  standard for different grade
  clusters

23
How Are the GLEs Related to Standards and
Benchmarks?
EQ

• Grade-Level Expectations
• are directly related to benchmarks
• define what the benchmark means for a given grade

  should master
• Make curricula more consistent throughout the
  state
• Align what is taught with what is assessed

Scavenger Hunt

• Activity/Group Discussion

42
Scavenger Hunt

• With what 3 purposes were the GLEs developed?
  (see slide show in Appendix)
• Of the identified purposes, which is/are most
  important and why?
• What is the relationship between the GLEs and
  curriculum? (see slide show in Appendix)
• How might the GLEs inform classroom instruction?

Vertical Scaffolding
44
Vertical Scaffolding

• GLEs provide scaffolding for grade-by-grade skill
  development.

45
Vertical Scaffolding

• GLEs increase in complexity from one grade level
  to the next
• GLEs guide instruction from PK-12
• GLEs are building blocks of quality education

46
Content Standards

• A framework
• Provides overall
• structure

47
Grade Level Expectations

• GLEs get us from
• floor to floor
• Stairsteps

48
Result
A coherent structure with a solid foundation.
49
Vertical Scaffolding

• Lets take a look at some GLEs for Geography to
  understand how GLEs build in complexity from one
  grade level to the next.

50
Example of Vertical Scaffolding for Elementary
Geography

• Grade 1 Identify and use simple map symbols and
  key/legend (G- 1A- E1)
• Grade 2 Describe basic characteristics of maps
  and globes (G- 1A- E1)
• Grade 3 Describe characteristics and uses of
  various maps (e.g., physical, political,
  topographical, population) (G- 1A- E1)

51
Geography Benchmark Codes

52
Vertical Scaffolding

• Lets take a look at some GLEs for ELA to
  understand how GLEs build in complexity from K-12.

53
ELA Example of Vertical Scaffolding K-12

• Kindergarten
• Identify whether the type of text read aloud is
  a true story, a fictional story, a song, or a
  poem (ELA-6-E2)
• Grade 6
• Compare and contrast elements (e.g., plot,
  setting, characters, theme) in a variety of
  genres (ELA-6-M2)
• Grade 11 Grade 12
• Analyze and evaluate distinctive elements (e.g.,
  recurrent
• themes, historical significance, literary
  techniques) of ancient, American, British, and
  world literature (ELA-6-H2)

54
