La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CXLI-721

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section CXLI-721 - Benchmark Codes
A. The first term in the benchmark code refers to the strand (i.e., SI, PS, LS, ESS, SE). The second term refers to the grade cluster (i.e., E for elementary, M for middle school, H for high school). The third term refers to the category and benchmark number (e.g., A1, B2, C3).
B. For most grade clusters, strands are divided into categories or major topical areas. (The SE strand has no category at the PreK-4 and 5-8 grade levels.) Science GLEs have been developed and are organized based on this secondary breakdown. Categories are indicated by the letters in the benchmark code designations. (See Table 6.)
