A. This §105 provides definitions for standards-related terms used throughout this Part CXXIX. Following is a hierarchy of the standards-related terms used in this Part.

1. Strand-the subject area that is to be taught. There are five strands incorporated in the Louisiana Adult Education Content Standards. The strands include:
a. language arts- reading;

b. language arts- writing;

c. mathematics;

d. science; and

e. social studies.

Strand Example: Social Studies

2. Standard-the overall goal, end result of a learning experience.
a. A standard determines the purpose, aim and rationale of class instruction.

b. A standard is often not immediately measurable; rather, it sets the framework by preparing students for future activities and further knowledge acquisition.

c. A standard expresses a purpose for instruction but does not designate the specific abilities that the learner must possess.

Standard Example: Adult learners use and apply social studies concepts in a variety of situations.

3. Benchmark-supports the standard. It defines what a learner must know and be able to do in the lesson. A benchmark is brief and written to the point so that it is easy to understand and may be achieved over a well defined time period.

Benchmark Example: Adult learners apply the behavioral science concepts of psychology, sociology and anthropology to personal and community situations.
