Understanding the GLCEs

The Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE) were designed to ensure that students receive seamless instruction, from one grade to the next, leaving no gaps in any child's education.  They were created to guide the design of the state's grade level MEAP texts required in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) legislation. The high standards set forth in the GLCEs makes them, at times, hard to understand and difficult to translate into teachable lessons. This is where WriteSteps can help!

How WriteSteps Applies to the GLCEs

WriteSteps materials were written by a teacher for teachers.  The lessons were written to help Michigan teachers meet the GLCE requirements.  All of the WriteSteps lessons strongly reinforce and teach reading and writing GLCEs that are assessed on the 3rd through 8th grade ELA MEAP tests.
