An Introduction to the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) by Vickie Dickneite PPP Center

Show-Me Standards Grade Level Expectations Frameworks for Curriculum Development

Show-Me Standards  Define what Missouri students should know and be able to do by the time they graduate from high school.

 Serve as a blueprint for schools to write challenging curriculum to help all students achieve.

Frameworks for Curriculum Development  Complement the Show-Me Standards.

 Describe what kinds of content and skills schools should emphasize.

 Provide sample learning activities.  Many of the Frameworks were developed using PPP’s Continuum of Development Chart.

For complete Missouri Frameworks for Curriculum Development, go to Sample of Frameworks Please refer to VI. Geometric and Spatial Sense Handout (page 7)

Grade Level Expectations  Known as GLEs  Guide teachers’ lesson planning.
