La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CXLI-101

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section CXLI-101 - Introduction

A. In 2001, Louisiana administered the LEAP Alternate Assessment (LAA) for the first time. With the inception of LEAP Alternative Assessment, Level 2 (LAA 2), LAA became LEAP Alternate Assessment, Level 1 (LAA 1). LAA 1 is a performance assessment based on selected Louisiana content standards in:

1. English-language arts;

2. mathematics;

3. science; and

4. social studies.

B. In 2003, Louisiana continued to expand its content standards by developing Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs). GLEs identify what all students should know or be able to do by the end of a given grade level in these four content areas. Extended Standards (ESs) have been developed for the LAA 1 population in English-language arts, mathematics, and science. The ESs capture the essence of the GLEs and provide a way for students with significant cognitive disabilities to access the general education curriculum. The ESs also provide the foundation for the redesigned LAA 1, to be administered for the first time in spring of 2008.
