Teachers gain insight about potentially challenging GLCE, so that curriculum and instructional strategies can be revised as needed. Teachers gain understanding of the format for the grades 3-8 MEAPs. Participants practice development of quality MEAP-like assessments that can be used in classrooms to monitor and guide instruction. GLCE Assessment Conference-GLCE and You 3 GLCE ASSESSMENTS AND YOU! January 12 and 13, 2005 Products: Two distinctly different products will be produced based on the content area English Language Arts – A coded MEAP-like prototype for specific grade level, and GLCE based classroom assessments for their grade level (including narrative, informational, and/or writing components Mathematics -

Develop assessable learning targets for NCLB 3-8 grade level assessments. Clarify Michigan Curriculum Framework Benchmarks for grade level assessments ( English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards and Benchmarks written in grade level clusters). English Language Arts and Mathematics Grade Level Content Expectations provide core targets for assessment. Annually collect assessment data on student achievement to measure skills and concepts over time. ELA Standards and Benchmarks continue to represent the full scope of curriculum!

GLCE Assessment Conference-GLCE and You 21 The Content of Michigan’s 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. Michigan’s benchmarks are not grade level specific, but are in “clusters” of grades.
