The Content of Michigans Grade Level Content
Expectations From Michigan Curriculum Framework
to Grade Level Content Expectations

• 1995-Michigan adopted
• Model Core Academic Curriculum Content Standards-
• Michigan Curriculum Framework
• in order to establish a common set of
  standards and benchmarks for all Michigan school
  children.

The Content of Michigans Grade Level Content
Expectations From Michigan Curriculum Framework
to Grade Level Content Expectations

• In 2002, the Department of Education began to
  develop grade-by-grade content expectations in
  reading/language arts and mathematics to provide
  clearer guidance to local educators and parents
  and to serve as the basis for annual assessments
  required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act
  (NCLB) of 2001.
• NCLB requires grade level tests to be aligned
  with state standards for each level, grades 3-8.
  Michigans benchmarks are not grade level
  specific, but are in clusters of grades.
