Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs)
The New Hampshire Department of Education, Rhode Island Department of Education, and Vermont Department of Education have developed a common set of Grade-Level Expectations, known as the New England Common Assessment Program Grade-Level Expectations (NECAP GLEs). These expectations were developed in response to the requirements of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind Act, 2001 to test all students, beginning in the 2005-2006 academic year, in each of grades 3-8 in mathematics.
The NECAP GLEs do not represent the full curriculum in mathematics or reading/language arts. Rather, they serve as an assessment framework for the development of the testing blueprints for common assessments. Each of the partner states intend to develop revised curriculum frameworks to accompany the NECAP GLEs. The revised frameworks will support good instruction and local assessment by modeling concepts and skills not easily assessed in an on-demand large-scale assessment (e.g., mental mathematics, self-correcting while reading).
