MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

What are Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE's)?

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 called upon states to implement grade level assessments based on "rigorous academic standards" by the 2005-2006 school year.  The GLCE are Michigan's response to this mandate. They do not represent the entire richness of a curriculum, but do highlight that which is essential for all students to be able to know and do.  The GLCE documents are the third tier of Michigan's Curriculum Frameworks (1995) and will directly correlate to items on the grade level MEAP Assessments.  While content standards and benchmarks define the broader curriculum expected to be taught and learned in Michigan schools, GLCE are specific and clarify what it is that students are expected to know and do on grade level assessments. At the local level, teacher-created Instructional Design will drive instruction.
