State of Michigan's Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE) for elementary schools

Parent's Guide: 
Math
Language Arts

Special Note: These guidelines were introduced 2 years ago and the state superintendent gave school districts 5 years to reform local district curriculums to meet the GLCE's. In TCAPS we have most of that work complete but there are a few minor areas we still need to adjust.
