Section CXLI-301 - Introduction

A. For students taking LAA 1, the selected Louisiana English language arts content standards for LAA 1 encompass reading, writing, researching, and listening and speaking. Each benchmark within a standard delineates what students should know and be able to do by the end of a grade span. GLEs further define the knowledge and skills students are expected to master by the end of each grade or high school course. The GLEs for each grade are developmentally appropriate and increase in complexity to build the knowledge and skills students need. GLEs appropriate for LAA 1 are extended to capture the essence of the GLEs students with significant cognitive disabilities must know and be able to do and are referred to as Extended Standards (ESs). Three levels of complexity provide students of varying abilities instructional access to grade level academic content. Mastery of an ES is generally indicated by a student performing at level 3.
