The Alternate Grade Level Expectations (AGLEs)

The Maine Alternate Grade Level Expectations - AGLEs - provide a common basis for the planning and assessment of standards-related instruction and assessment in a system that allows students to work on the AGLEs/Indicators, LoC descriptors, and tasks best suited to their individual needs. Tasks within the Task Bank are aligned with the Maine AGLEs, Levels of Complexity 1–8.  Students working above the grade-appropriate LoC should participate in the State assessment for their grade-level placement with appropriate accommodations.

AGLEs for the 2009–2010 PAAP are written on a continuum of eight Levels of Complexity (LoC). The AGLEs were developed by “backing down” the academic content standards (see Maine’s Accountability Standards, Chapter 131) from high school through elementary school. This approach ensured linkage to the content standards across grades K–12. The LoCs for Reading, Writing, and Mathematics are linked to the NECAP Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs) and the LoCs for Science are linked to Maine’s 2007 Learning Results.

AGLE/Indicators for which tasks are not available in 2009-10 for assessment have a note at the bottom of the page stating “2009-10 Instruction Only”; these AGLE/Indicators are provided for instructional purposes and future planning.  It is our intent to provide tasks for all AGLE/Indicators in the future.
