A. The LEAP Connect is an assessment that evaluates each eligible students knowledge and skills in targeted areas. It is administered one-on-one and consists of items written at four levels of complexity to represent different levels of achievement by students.

1. The LEAP Connect is aligned to the Louisiana connectors (LCs), which represent developmentally-appropriate content benchmarks that provide pathways toward achieving Louisiana student standards across all grade levels in English language arts and mathematics for students with significant cognitive disabilities.

2. The LCs capture the essence of the content standards and provide a way for students with significant cognitive disabilities to access the general education curriculum.

B. Four levels of academic complexity related to each LC provide instructional access for students with varying academic abilities.

C. Definitions

Connector Standards-represent the most salient grade-level, core academic content that students with significant cognitive disabilities must master in order to be prepared for a successful life after high school.

Content Standards-broad statements of what students should know and be able to do.
